Perhaps only when you prevent it from installing the tools it needs? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.

No. Those tools are needed only to write CD/DVD media, they are deprecated, should not be used, and conflict with the installed tools. Normal application lets you choose which set to use (cdrtools (Joerg Schilling) or wodim. In fact, what it wants to install is "cdrkit-cdrtools-compat", which is a layer that allows applications to use wodim with cdrtools calls. It is a bug to request those tools in a hard requirement, IMO. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
