Hi,
While working on Unreleased 1.15, I saw a bug preventing build process under test build process. It fails when running "mktemp" if $TMPDIR doesn't exist in advance, The following seems to fix it. @ -114,6 +114,7 @@ pot: $(PO_DIR)/templates.pot # $(PO_DIR)/templates.pot: $(MANUAL).en.x02 .FORCE ( \ + mkdir -p $(TMPDIR) ; \ _MY_TEMPFILE=$$(mktemp) ; \ $(ITSTOOL) $< -o $${_MY_TEMPFILE} ; \ $(MSGCAT) -o $@ $${_MY_TEMPFILE} ; \ But I don't see failure of itstool under "stable" system with backported debhelper. I will check sid situation later. Osamu
