>Description:
	The amanda packages currently use a default of /usr/adm/amanda
	for the location of the indexdir.  For NetBSD, this should change
	to /usr/pkg/etc/amanda

>How-To-Repeat:
	Create an amanda.conf without specifying an explicit value for
	indexdir.  Both the amcheck and amdump programs will try to use
	the non-existent /usr/adm/amanda as the default indexdir

 IMO, something like /var/amanda (or even /var/lib/amanda...) would be more
 appropriate. $PREFIX/etc/* should contain configuration files, not
 backup history.

 Other directories are not hardcoded, btw.

 Log Message:
 Remove references to /usr/adm, as nobody has shipped a /usr/adm
 directory in their OS for probably some twenty years. Use /var
 instead. In particular, fix the defaults for CNF_INFOFILE, CNF_LOGDIR,
 and CNF_INDEXDIR to use the configured LOCALSTATEDIR, which in pkgsrc
 will be ${VARBASE}/amanda, instead of hardwiring /usr/adm/amanda.

State-Changed-Why:
Fixed.

I didn't change the machinery that puts PKG_SYSCONFDIR into one or more of
the example configs for things that according to the discussion here should
probably be in /var. That can be done easily if the consensus is in favor,
or the package maintainer thinks it should. However, /usr/adm no longer
appears in the package.


>Unformatted:

 Why etc?  Shouldn't this be in VARBASE as /usr/pkg/var/amanda?
 But agreed that /usr/adm/amanda is goofy.
