Repository: jci-sles12-sp1-pool-x86_64-2016-10-01
Name: cdrkit-cdrtools-compat
Version: 1.1.11-24.15
Arch: x86_64
Vendor: SUSE LLC <https://www.suse.com/>
Support Level: Level 3
Installed: Yes
Status: up-to-date

Summary: Tool for Writing CDRs - cdrtools Compatibility Package
Description:
  This package contains these symlinks:
  cdrecord -> wodim
  mkisofs -> genisoimage
  cdda2wav -> icedax
  Install this package if you want to use the cdrkit programs
  using cdrtools program names.
Provides:
  cdrkit-cdrtools-compat(x86-64) == 1.1.11-24.15
  cdrkit-cdrtools-compat == 1.1.11-24.15
  /usr/bin/mkisofs
  /usr/bin/cdda2wav
  /usr/bin/cdrecord
  /usr/bin/readcd

As you can see,  you would need to change Requires: field for mondo and
mindi to use full paths to mkisofs/cdrecord binaries (at least for SLES).
