Have you tried it as a non-root user?

I have exactly the same versions installed, and they are working properly.
Incidentally, why are you using sudo to do dpkg -l?

I tried running k3b as root, using kdesu, and it worked fine for me. If
running k3b as a normal user doesn't work, check the programs module,
Search Path tab in the setup page, and make sure the paths
include /usr/bin/.
If all else fails, I'd suggest re-installing both packages.
Hope that helps,
