I am in the process of installing the ax25.tools package on my OpenSuSE 15.4 x64 system and am discovering a few files that seem to be missing. /usr/local/etc was missing wl3k.conf and wl2k.conf.dist /usr/local/etc/ax25/ entire directory is missing which includes ax25-down, ax25-up, and links for axports and Lanparms. /etc/ax25/Lanparms file missing I know this is an obscure package used by crazy ham radio operators wanting to communicate via packet radio. Was there a reason these files were removed, nothing in the release note mention these files AFAIK, or maybe a packaging screw up? For now I am scarfing these files from OpenSuSE 15.3 and hoping that will be a good enough workaround. 73's Marc WA7PXW... -- *"The Truth is out there" - Spooky* *_ _ . . . . . . _ _ . _ _ _ _ . . . . _ . . . . _ _ . _ _ _ . . . . _ _ . _ . . _ . _ _ _ _ . _ . _ . _ . _ . * Computers: the final frontier.

Package ax25.tools does not exist in standard openSUSE repositories so you need to start with explaining where you got this software from and how you install it.
/usr/local/etc was missing wl3k.conf and wl2k.conf.dist /usr/local/etc/ax25/ entire directory is missing which includes ax25-down, ax25-up, and links for axports and Lanparms. /etc/ax25/Lanparms file missing
Normally packages do not install anything in /usr/local, which again hints that your software does not come from openSUSE.

You can find the building of ax25 on: https://build.opensuse.org/search?search_text=ax25 Most likely you need to look at: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP4 -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

This is exactly the package provided by openSUSE.

It has nothing to do with who is using this package. This package does not install anything in /usr/local in Leap 15.4 nor did in Leap 15.3.
what is normal! /usr/local is also where these files have been installed in all the previous OpenSuSE releases AFAIK.
bor@bor-Latitude-E5450:/tmp$ rpm -qlp ax25-tools-0.0.10rc4_87-bp153.1.14.x86_64.rpm | grep /usr/local bor@bor-Latitude-E5450:/tmp$ You need to get your facts right ...

Nothing that is packaged "officially", i.e. by our maintainers, will put anything in /usr/local/ vy 73 OZ1HZV (inactive since 1992). Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.
