# Affected version: - 2.70 - 2.71
# Related bug report: - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2021-03/msg00001.html # Description: According to documentation, runstatedir is supposed to be a subdirectory of the localstatedir. However, when --localstatedir value is passed to the configure script, it does not propagate properly to the runstatedir value. The ${localstatedir} actually expands to an empty string. For example if localstatedir is set to '/dir/subdir', the expected runstatedir would be '/dir/subdir/run'. Instead it expands to '/run'. A reproducer can be found in the related bug report above. -- Patrik Novotný Associate Software Engineer Red Hat panov...@redhat.com
