K3b is especially weird. It will break when you remove the broken versions, and will not find the proper ones, even though it knows where to look. So do this... or just let it think it is using the broken ones. That will work since you replaced them with links. I think. Might as well do the below and be sure.
Go into k3b and add the executable locations into the list of search paths (settings/configure k3b/programs/search paths), ie /usr/bin/cdrecord, /usr/bin/mkisofs, /usr/bin/readcd
Enjoy your non-’whiney developer/corporate bullshit’ versions of your tools.
Maybe send an email to the Ubuntu or Debian people and ask them why they insist on still using these pieces of crap. If they would just admit where they went wrong and backtrack, instead of trying to save face, we would all benefit. Let’s hope crap like this doesn’t continue to corrupt an otherwise good distribution. (nevermind, money will always corrupt)
