Updates.

Actually, there is a tool named 'potool'
<https://marcin.owsiany.pl/potool-page> (Git repository:
<https://github.com/porridge/potool>).

That program is the one I can use on the TTY. It is very easy to build
and install on the Linux From Scratch: only 'make', 'make check' and
'make install' commands are necessary.

It happened that Debian Maintainers made some symbolic links and that
symbolic links confused me.
