Details

Description: xmodem, ymodem and zmodem file transfer no longer works with lrzsz installed.

Additional info:

  • package version: latest 3.0.21-1

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install moserial
  • Install lrzsz
  • Start moserial and connect to serial device (Sonoff Zigbee Dongle-E in my case)
  • Attempt to send firmware file with XMODEM protocol

Error: GUI popup dialog with text: Failed to execute child process "sz" (No such file or directory)

On 2023-08-10, lrzsz was changed to rename /usr/bin/sz (and sx/sb/rz/rx/rb) to /usr/bin/lrzsz-sz (and lrzsz-* for the others). All software depending on those paths no longer works, see task 68599. minicom and a bunch of AUR packages are also affected.
