Public bug reported: Binary package hint: coreutils
Package: coreuils Version: 7.4-2ubuntu2 Release: 10.04 $ mktemp XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png mktemp: too few X's in template `XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png' WTF?! $ mktemp tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png mktemp: too few X's in template `tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png' Say what again? $ mktemp tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX $ Allright, so mktemp seems to need a prefix. That makes it quite useless for some task, like if you want to produces files of a specific "type", for today's luser-proof GUI Apps that won't list files that don't fit into their narrow horizon. ** Affects: coreutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: coreutils (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Description changed: Binary package hint: coreutils Package: coreuils Version: 7.4-2ubuntu2 Release: 10.04 $ mktemp XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png mktemp: too few X's in template `XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png' WTF?! $ mktemp tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png mktemp: too few X's in template `tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png' Say what again? - $ mktehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugsmp tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX + $ mktemp tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX $ Allright, so mktemp seems to need a prefix.
