Howdy,
The install/GNUmakefile is normally a single-use install, so I'm not clear if you're re-using that makefile after an install, but that would explain why you didn't have pktdump copied or symlinked to your exec dir.
Since I use Synchronet in a docker, my install is technically a first-time install everytime the container image is created as there is no existing environment to "update"/"upgrade".
I see.
I've only known the GNUmakefile install - its what I would have learnt form the wiki the first time I started out with Synchronet. In fact, Ive not understood the purpose of the other Makefiles, and assumed they were all put of the build.
The GNUmakefile you're using (install/GNUmakefile) is really more of a bootstrap script that just goes and kicks off the makes of other things before finally copying or symlinking files to your sbbs/exec dir. Those "other things" often have their own make files that do most of the work and the biggest of those is src/sbbs3/GNUmakefile which builds all the sbbs3 libraries and executables. It also has an "install" target.
Hopefully I'm not missing out on any other utilities :)
Check the src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.*.exe.*/ output directory for anything else that might not be copied/symlinked by the install/GNUmakefile.
fmsgdump was another Synchronet utility I noticed was not being copied or symlinked by the install/GNUmakefile.
