--- Begin Message ---The way the default is set for CLN_AMANDATES in client-src/clientconf.c is just wrong. It doesn't use the default in the client-src/amandates.h file, and it precludes overriding the location of the amandates file at build time using --localstatedir which is what my Debian package build expects to be able to do. Never mind the fact that using /etc for this file violates the FHS. ;-) I'm using the following trivial patch in my Debian package builds. Please include this in the next update.
