upstream managed to name the 2.4 tarballs 2.3 ... I'd suggest hitting them with a comet-sized cluebat and waiting for a proper release

Ok, erm, wow.

The 2.4 tarball extracts to a axel-2.3 directory

This is just a series of frustrating accidents :)

SRC_URI needed a little change to match tarball and directory names.
