Minicom can't find zmodem/ymodem/xmodem binaries
When I try to use zmodem, ymodem, or xmodem from Minicom, I get a "Failure executing protocol" error. It used to be that installing the optional dependency lrzsz fixed that error, but now file transfer still doesn't work even with lrzsz installed.
I got it to work again like so:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lrzsz-rz /usr/bin/rz
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lrzsz-sz /usr/bin/sz
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lrzsz-rb /usr/bin/rb
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lrzsz-sb /usr/bin/sb
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lrzsz-rx /usr/bin/rx
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lrzsz-sx /usr/bin/sx
But it's too much to expect every user to create a bunch of symlinks like I did. The binaries should not have an lrzsz-
prefix in the first place; they should be installed with the names that Minicom and other programs have expected for decades.
