Package: hal Version: 0.2.95-4 Severity: important The bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=262678 still is not fixed.
It is obvious that hal is a non-cooperative application that interrupts CD/DVD-writing. As an intermediate solution, I recommend to kill hald. The long term solution is to fix hald to become a cooperative application. Here is an example for a cooperative application that the hald people don't know how to do things without interrupting other applications: http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/volmgt/ It is definitely not a solution introduce bugs into libscg in order to hide 90% of the problems caused by this hald bug.
