  Hi Luca,

  After discussion on the buildroot developer day, we decided that this 
should not be configurable. Instead it should be hard-coded to some fixed 
path in /run, e.g. /run/db or something else that makes sense. (Note that 
/run is a symlink to /var/run which is a symlink to /tmp. We should use 
/run, not /var/run, because that conforms to the FHS.)

  Since you probably use this package, can you test this and send a patch?

  Regards,
  Arnout
