This failure to install seems to related to the wsjtx_icon.png file.  
But removing that file and trying various forms of root 
privileges does not make the install work.

ideas???

Hi Jeff,

that looks like you have some other package installed in /usr/local 
called wsjtx-data2.1.2+repack-2build1, I have no idea what that is, but 
suggest you uninstall that package before trying to install our amd64 
package.
