Alternatively you might be well advised to verify whether the affected
file is not even needed in ctn 2.30.0.  As I said it is not used at all
in 2.32.1 and may be this is even valid in the previous version.  This
would be the most simple solution - but I'm personally lacking imaging
skills and feel not able to help here in a sensinble time frame.

Hope this helps
