Oh, there _is_ a bug. Compare what the documentation says, with a bit
of variable expansion that I did to show the bug (between parentheses):
Documentation says:
$prefix
Should normally be */usr/local*
$localstatedir
Should normally be */usr/local/var*
But write it as *$prefix/var* (= /usr/local/var; OK)
$runstatedir
Should normally be */var/run*
But write it as *$localstatedir/run* (= $prefix/var/run)
(= /usr/local/var/run)
(!= /var/run; NOK)
Do you realize the bug now?
This is intended and not a bug, "should normally" doesn't mean that it
is, or must be. *You* are _supposed_ to pass the right thing for your
system, the defaults are (i.e. localstatedir = runstatedir) is to make
it easy for people just doing a "default" install, but if your system
has someting else, you need to modify it (i,e., the 'should be').
So not a bug, but intended behaivour.
