Hi, Norman, thanks for the info. Seems that old standalone mktemp is used. I wonder why, mktemp is now in essential and required coreutils package that should have been unpacked and configured way before dictionaries-common, and since both provide mktemp under /bin old binary should have been completely replaced. What 'which mktemp' returns when run as root? Regards, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
