Thank you for helping me make the connection. (That makes a lot more
sense than the complicated scenarios I was imagining... :) I was thrown
off the trail by the data/dxx/cty.dat in the xlog source package and
had assumed that it was what was being read (and knew that it hadn't
changed).
But I see now:
$ find /usr/share -name cty.dat -exec ls -al {} \;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 321922 Nov 25 10:54 /usr/share/hamradio-files/cty.dat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Aug 16 04:42 /usr/share/xdx/cty.dat -> ../hamradio-files/cty.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79386 Aug 27 09:56 /usr/share/tucnak/cty.dat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jul 31 21:08 /usr/share/tlf/cty.dat -> ../hamradio-files/cty.dat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Oct 17 2021 /usr/share/xlog/dxcc/cty.dat -> ../../hamradio-files/cty.dat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Nov 23 02:11 /usr/share/wsjtx/cty.dat -> ../hamradio-files/cty.dat
And there have been plenty of recent updates to cty.dat in hamradio-files [1]
Thanks again to Ed for the bug report!
