Package: coreutils Version: 8.21-1 Followup-For: Bug #518796 Ok, after a bit more thinking, I'm not sure I understand the --suffix=SUFF option correctly.
First, mktemp(1) says in the description that “TEMPLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive 'X's in last component.” MUST, so --suffix=XXX is not a valid use. What “--suffix=SUFF append SUFF to TEMPLATE. SUFF must not contain slash. This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X.” might mean is therefore that `mktemp test.XXX.a` will be interpreted the same a `mktemp test.XXX --suffix .a`. This is consistent with the current behaviour: $ mktemp test.XXX.a test.sAE.a $ mktemp test.XXX --suffix .a test.kYK.a I don't think this bug can be confirmed anymore, but the documentation should be clarified. Probably an upstream task again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
