Description of problem: Abrt stores pending crash dumps in /var/cache/abrt . According to the FHS, this kind of data belongs in /var/spool : "/var/cache is intended for cached data from applications. Such data is locally generated as a result of time-consuming I/O or calculation. The application must be able to regenerate or restore the data. Unlike /var/spool, the cached files can be deleted without data loss." "/var/spool contains data which is awaiting some kind of later processing. Data in /var/spool represents work to be done in the future (by a program, user, or administrator); often data is deleted after it has been processed." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt-1.0.7-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: rpm -ql abrt Actual results: /var/cache/abrt Expected results: /var/spool/abrt
