... but 'trixbox' is not asterisk; in the #centos IRC channel
on freenode, where I might be found daily, my lieutenants and
I regularly are beseiged by refugees with the *BROKEN*
downstream fork, of CentOS, called trixbox (and others too)
The problem was sufficently common that we have a whole wiki
page devoted to the problem:

Asterisk packagings are tricky as well, as most do not get
along with the packaging system, but want to unroll and build
tarballs as root (another *very bad idea*). Mine do not share
that defect, and will build as non-root, and run just fine.

Then all you have done is confirmed that the trixbox
developers cannot write an effective test plan, and cannot
identify and fix regressions. Or maintain repositories ;)
Seems to me this is a good reason not to use the particular
product; or to get involved and displace the non-competents
(if possible); or failing all that, fork and do it right
(think: OpenPBX). Brian Adams <?> at OpenPBX had me speak at
their 'ClueCon' convention a couple years ago about CentOS and
telephony, and the OS in use split about 50:50 between CentOS
and Debian, from a show of hands;
