Current64: /etc/rc.d/rc.S still refers to /var/log/setup/tmp


Current64: /etc/rc.d/rc.S at line 395 still refers to /var/log/setup/tmp instead of /var/lib/pkgtools/setup/tmp.
For as far as I am aware we should not depend on whether or not the user has the convenience symlinks set.


Edit Aug 7, 2018: Corrected the "target" path.

If I remember correctly the convenience symlink is for /var/log/packages and friends, not /var/log/setup: /var/log/setup and the files it contents stay where they are. These files are needed during installation as for running the scripts called by pkgtools.

I don't even have this directory.

Code:
$ ls /var/lib/setup/
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/setup/': No such file or directory
