[Xastir] Problems getting libax25-dev to install in support of xastir install

[David Ranch]

I imagine this user is using the VE7FET AX.25 sources that contained 
some significant fixes that weren't in the Official AX.25 sources some 
time ago:

    https://github.com/ve7fet/linuxax25
    --
    ax25-apps: 1.0.5
    ax25-tools: 1.0.3
    libax25: 1.0.5
    --

It seems the VE7FET repo is now becoming stale (late update was May 
2016) yet the Official AX.25 sources have been getting attention again 
(last update was June 2017).  Unfortunately, there haven't been any new 
tagged versions in the Official AX.25 repo a VERY VERY long time.  I 
also don't know if the official AX.25 repos applied a lot of the fixes 
that were put into the VE7FET repo.  Ultimately, none of these 
improvements found in the Official AX.25 repo will make it into a 
mainline Linux distro until they tag something new and make an official 
release.
