coreutils (8.5-1ubuntu1) has been released on Maverick, with support for
'--suffix=', which addresses this bug:
cer...@xango2:/build/buildd/uec/uec-testing-scripts$ /bin/mktemp --help
Usage: /bin/mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]
Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name.
TEMPLATE must contain at least 3 consecutive `X's in last component.
If TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX, and --tmpdir is implied.
-d, --directory create a directory, not a file
-u, --dry-run do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
-q, --quiet suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure
--suffix=SUFF append SUFF to TEMPLATE. SUFF must not contain slash.
This option is implied if TEMPLATE does not end in X.
--tmpdir[=DIR] interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR. If DIR is not
specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp. With
this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name.
Unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but
mktemp creates only the final component
-p DIR use DIR as a prefix; implies -t [deprecated]
-t interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component,
relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the
directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated]
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
