[Xastir] Trap for Young and Old

[David A Aitcheson]

Actually that line is in the file just commented out and replaced with
"chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/xastir"

Thus for Dave VK4BDJ's benefit a simple edit of the update-xastir script
would fix the problem as long as update-xastir does not get changed with
each update.

Which would be the equal of a dog chasing its own tail endlessly.
