Bug#623973: soundmodemconfig fails when loading /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf
Package: soundmodem
Version: 0.15-2
Severity: normal
'soundmodemconfig' is a tool provided in the 'soundmodem' package used
to set up the soundmodem daemon.
When you first use the program, the file /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf
doesn't exist, so the program outputs errors like:
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf"
I/O error : No such fiile or directory
Soundmodemconfig does not create that file, so you have to do it by
hand (mkdir /etc/ax25 ; touch /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf ). Otherwise
you won't be able to store the config.
This bug was first reported in Ubuntu
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/soundmodem/+bug/770011).

there:
> So, running soundmodemconfig is a MUST. But even when running soundmodemconfig, the /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf won't be created until the directory /etc/ax25 exists.
> If you install the ax25 packages, the directory will be created, and then you will be able to configure soundmodem.
> However, the ax25 packages are not dependencies, so this is totally a bug.
> Since this package is imported from Debian, you should file a bug report on Debian and link it here.
> If I'm not wrong (hope I'm not!) you should ask the maintainer to add the /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf to the package conffiles,
> so /etc/ax25 is created automatically if needed during package installation.
