Changed the title accordingly, to express the actual problem. The point being: 1. one needs to be able to create temporary files that have a filename extensions/suffixes, since most of todays Gnome/KDE GUI programms expect files to have filename extensions 2. mktemp can't do filename extensions 3. the error message being displayed, when using tryng to create files with fileextension is wrong. 4. the manpage doesn't say *anything* about how TEMPLATES should or should not look like and the info page is missing 5. AFAIK the previous separate mktemp (from OpenBSD I think) worked as expected, so that would be a regression 6. coreutils 8.5 fixes the problem Here I go having spelled the problem character by character to make the real problem clear. So the logical next step would seem to be to flag the real problem as such (Wishlist) in order for it to be fixed. However users can't do that in Ubuntu. Would you mind fixing this problem that exists for real? -- mktemp can't create a file with a suffix/file extension https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
