qmi-proxy being deleted after use

[Kasper Cheng]

I found that qmi-proxy deletes itself after I use it from the command line.
e.g. I am copying it to my home folder first, to avoid the apt installed
version from being deleted. The executable file itself  is gone after I
started it and broke out of it with CTRL+C

kcheng at kcrasp5:~ $ cp /usr/libexec/qmi-proxy .
kcheng at kcrasp5:~ $ sudo ~/qmi-proxy
^C[13 Jan 2025, 14:28:09] -Warning ** Caught signal, stopping the loop...
kcheng at kcrasp5:~ $ sudo ~/qmi-proxy
sudo: /home/kcheng/qmi-proxy: command not found
kcheng at kcrasp5:~ $ ls qmi-proxy
ls: cannot access 'qmi-proxy': No such file or directory

I have seen this problem before but It's all OK suddenly so I gave up
looking at it. But it's back now.
I am using a Rasbperry 5 with Raspberry OS 12 bookworm, but I have also
seen it with ubuntu desktop PC, also with self built binary from source.

Am I using it wrong?
