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.
