Comment 4 for bug 1773131

I've found a workaround for ubuntu 18.04:

1) I downloaded the source code of the package from the original developers (making sure it was the same version the ubuntu .deb package is):

  $ wget https://confluence.ecmwf.int/download/attachments/8650755/ecFlow-4.8.0-Source.tar.gz?api=v2 -O ecFlow-4.8.0-Source.tar.gz

2) I gunzipped and untarred the downloaded package in ~/ecflow_src

3) I changed my directory to /usr/share and then created the link to the corresponding folder in the extracted archive:

  $ sudo ln -s ~/ecflow_src/ecFlow-4.8.0-Source/share/ecflow .

It seems to work, but of course it's not an elegant solution and moreover it's not straightforward to be available for everyone. It would be better to include the aforementioned files in the .deb package.
