The package's default install step attempts to create folders in
$(TARGET_DIR)/var/lib/netdata, $(TARGET_DIR)/var/cache/netdata, and
$(TARGET_DIR)/var/log/netdata.  For the cache and log cases in the
default Buildroot skeleton, those point to ../tmp and results in a
race condition causing a "file exists error". To fix that target
install issue, I'd propose the following patch be added.
