You are right, Fred, it is relatively small as problems go but it does serve, as you duly noted, to render MandrakeUpdate suspect at best, and downright unreliable at worse. Well thank the big Penguin in the sky. If you just go to good old rpmfind, you will find the latest release of the cdrecord source rpm, and you can build and install all the relevant components, cdrecord, cdrecord-devel, cdrecord-cddawav, cdrecord-dvdhack, and mkisofs.
