In the fix for zeek/zeekctl#65 (see also this changelog), the behavior for where extracted files go changed when deploying zeek with zeekctl.

As some of Malcolm's code which was setting the path of extracted files by using an environment variable to redef FileExtract::prefix depended on the old behavior, we need to, as the comment in the changelog says, set FileExtractDir in zeekctl.cfg to an empty value.

The symptom of this is that files are ending up underneath /opt/zeek/spool rather than in the correct extracted files location for Malcolm/Hedgehog Linux.
