Source: debian-reference Version: 2.68 Severity: normal Hi!
Currently the "make distclean" command deletes the users' tempdir if it was already set as the environment variable "TMPDIR". In my case it is ~/.tmp. Not only all the files in the directory are deleted, but also the directory itself. I think the directory should not be erased, and not even the files in it, aside those created by the debian-reference package. For a better explanation see this thread in the Debian Documentation Project Mailing-list https://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2017/09/msg00014.html And particularly the reply by user atzlinux that contains a proposed patch for the problem. https://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2017/09/msg00016.html Thanks, beatrice
