You should report issue to https://bugs.tryton.org/

This is because distutils (easy_install or pip) don't manage /etc files.
You can grab the one from the tgz that was used by installation.

You can use one of the OS which has packaged Tryton.
Or there is a "work in progress" for fedora at

Of course, we always want report when there is issue. We want to improve the

Tryton is not a click and run software. It is a framework to build your own
business software.
