While tracking down a problem on a FreeBSD 4.8 system today in
which findutils-4.1.20-1.3.0 wasn't creating the database, I
found that the %{l_prefix}/bin/updatedb script doesn't honor an
externally defined TMPDIR environment variable, but sets its own.
The TMPDIR environment variable is fairly standard (at least as
Unix standards go :-), and I think it might be very useful to
implement this standard in OpenPKG packages. I would probably
want to set this in the %{l_prefix}/etc/rc.conf file on a
per-system basis.

our best to make him feel that he ought to be ashamed of himself."
