I downloaded the Debian source package for s390-tools 1.17.1.
The source code (it's a shell script) for znetconf is present in the source
package, but for some reason it does not get built into the binary version
of the package. I was able to get it to run from the source package
(using "./znetconf -c") when my current directory was debian/build/build/zconf
(starting from the top directory of the source package). But in order to
get it to run, I had to make some changes. Both znetconf and lsznet.raw have
hard-coded references to a directory called /lib/s390-tools, which does not
exist on a stock Debian system. This may be causing a build failure.
But if so, it is a silent build failure. dpkg-buildpackage produces no errors.
I got it to run by changing the directory to ".", for testing purposes.
This is no good for the general case, of course, but I did it just to see if
I could get it to run, and I was able to get it to run that way.
"./znetconf -c" finds and lists my CTCA.
I think this is a question for the package maintainer. Philipp, are you
listening?
