There is no package cdrtools but there was libcdr-tools. Unfortunately
installing that didn't help. Google was no help and neither was a
search of packages.debian.org.
I realize optical media is passé these days, but I find it difficult
to believe that support for burning CDs has been dropped. What do I
have to do to get k3b to burn a CD?
OK, got it. I tried to use wodim from the command line and didn't have
permission. Changing it to a+x allowed k3b to find it.
