Not working?  Hmmn, news to me ...

root at vm-fed ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 31 (Thirty One)

[root at vm-fed ~]# rpm -q xymon-client xymon-client-local
xymon-client-4.3.30-1.fc31.x86_64
xymon-client-local-4.3.30-1.fc31.x86_64

Oh yeah, now I remember - Japheth built some weird (unnecessary?) 
dependency upon "/bin/dash" into the Fedora 31 RPMs that I couldn't get 
to resolve, even though "/bin/dash" existed.

I kludged around it via this temporary hack (I'll take "working" over 
"efficiency" any day):

and rebuilding the RPMs from the spec file.

(Hopefully this will drag him out of the woodwork to berate me for doing 
this.)
