Thanks for the report!
Ironically, it's just the check that's bogus -- chg-zd-mtx will run just
fine in that situation. Try the attached patch, which just removes the
checks.
The problem is that the RPM was built on a machine without mtx
installed, so it recorded the path to mtx as just 'mtx'. Then
chg-zd-mtx, assuming it is given a fully qualified path, checks that the
file exists. Because 'mtx' is an unqualified filename, the check fails.
