Kilbert@linux-f5tb:~> quickusbformatter

Kilbert@linux-f5tb:~> wheris mkdosfs
If 'wheris' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf wheris
Kilbert@linux-f5tb:~> whereis mkdosfs
mkdosfs: /usr/sbin/mkdosfs /sbin/mkdosfs /usr/share/man/man8/mkdosfs.8.gz
Kilbert@linux-f5tb:~>

ANy help is appreciated.

Need to be root from the errors. Most thinks in sbin need root permissions

No, it is in the kde extras.
I filed a bug report

THE program asks for root password, and running as root creates same issue.
Appears the program is looking for the mkdos etc… in the wrong directory.
