Make pacman path handling (hopefully) a bit more intuitive
I made pacman path handling a bit odd with my rootdir changes a while back
in order to increase flexability. However, it had a bit of a drawback in
that dbpath/logfile/etc. would not default to being under the rootdir if
that was the only parameter you specified in the config file or on the
command line. (Note: logfile handling was always broken due to the explicit
logfile line required in config files)
Pacman now works as follows:
if a rootdir is specified but not dbpath or logfile:
attempt to place the logfile and dbpath in their default locations under
root
if an explicit dbpath/logfile is specified:
interpret these as absolute paths, regardless of the rootdir setting
if nothing is specified:
fall back to configured defaults
