I’ve just checked the source package, and you’re right. That means my system
got broken sometime after February 5, 2015 the last time _autorebase was
updated.

Alas, I already reinstalled it while debugging the problem.

Put "mkdir -p ${b}" somewhere near the top of 0p_000_autorebase.dash or
rebaselst.

Well, here’s a fun find: The last time that file was written to was November 4,
2014, even though I did two or there setup.exe passes today while composing my
prior reply.
$ getfacl /var/log/setup.log
# file: /var/log/setup.log
# owner: Warren
# group: Warren
user::rw-
group::---
other:r—
So, why is setup.exe not writing to it? 604 is a weird permission set, but
does it really need world writability?
I get the same permission set when saying “touch x” on this box.
Windows 10, 64-bit.
