What's wrong:
Error message:
Can't find components file "/usr/athena/libexec/components"
What should have happened:

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
A quick look at the Lisp source code seems to indicate that
the code is looking for a skeleton message file in
/usr/athena/libexec/components, which is not there.
That file is instead located in /usr/athena/etc.
