This is expected. But it is a bug to use it without first testing for
its existance.

asterisk_fix neds to be run as a pre-confition to the run of the
asterisk daemon, and also to fix "damage" by changes of other packages.
If the package 'asterisk' is not installed, the asterisk daemon is not
currently running, and the fix will be done when the package asterisk
will be installed.

If the package asterisk is already installed, and other package can
initiate an asterisk_fix.
