Package: mktemp Version: 1.6-2 Tags: patch Since 1.6-2, mktemp rejects filename templates that do not end in "XXXXXX" and prints a somewhat cryptic error message when you try:
$ mktemp -d ~/temp/three.XXX
mktemp: cannot make temp dir /home/lamby/temp/three.XXX: Invalid argument
The attached patch prints a more descriptive message in this situation. The
#define conditionals are required as the private code will set EINVAL for
other reasons.
