debian/rules sets a variable TMPDIR for its own purpose, and creates the directory only for some make targets. The environment variable TMPDIR is also used by programs such as patch and tac, hence the error. I'll suggest changing the debian/rules variable name to something else. Its value should probably be something based on TMPDIR in the best case.
Does that sound reasonable? If so, I can make a patch, or maybe better, include it in the debdiff in bug #114793. -- gutsy/amd64: ftbfs / autopkgtest failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
