That's an easy one: I only built mate but never configured it.

IMO, it should remain silent or, if you really want to print a waring,
also create an empty one so to avoid future popups (I definitely don't
want to have to acknowledge about the missing config file each time I
start Ethereal).

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
