[Bug 1680711] [NEW] Unable to find cdrecord executable

[corrado venturini]

Public bug reported:

I have a new error starting K3b on ubuntu 17.04 Zesty. K3B works fine on
Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial

Unable to find cdrecord executable
K3b uses cdrecord to actually write CDs.
Solution: Install the cdrtools package which contains cdrecord.
