k3b is not able to detect dvd+rw-tools package



Hi
  Using Debian unstable, latest k3b. When I run

$sudo k3b

I get a popup error saying

Unable to find growisofs executable
K3b uses growisofs to actually write dvds. Without growisofs you won't be able to write dvds. Make sure to install at least version 5.10.
Solution: Install the dvd+rw-tools package.

But dvd+rw-tools package is already installed on this machine. What should I do to get rid of this error? I do want to burn DVDs.

$sudo dpkg -l k3b dvd+rw-tools
