Thank you for reporting this. :)
cdrecord binary/link is actually provided by the wodim package on
ubuntu.
Installing that should solve the issue.
cdrtools itself was dropped from debian and ubuntu and some other
distros
In this case as newer k3b has more support for cdrskin this was added as
an explicit runtime dependency of k3b, but it seems that breaks the
depends 'wodim OR cdrskin' logic from previous versions meaning wodim
(and hence /usr/bin/cdrecord) are not installed.
So for now we should change that so wodim is still installed by default,
as seems that is still needed for on the fly burning.
Could maybe look at asking upstream is that warning message can be
tweaked a bit to take account of the fact that cdrecord binary/link is
provided only by wodim now on many distros.
