Bug#559852: xinit: --tmpdir is not supported by Lenny's mktemp
Package: xinit
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: important
Quoting the Debian changelog:
,----
| xinit (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
| [ Julien Cristau ]
| * 06_move_serverauthfile_into_tmp.diff: use mktemp --tmpdir to honour
| $TMPDIR (closes: #480958).
`----
The mktemp version in Lenny does not understand the --tmpdir option,
which will break startx in some interesting ways. You should either
- depend on coreutils (>= 7.4-1) to ensure that the coreutils version of
mktemp is used, or
- remove the --tmpdir switch, since the coreutils version of mktemp
honors TMPDIR by default (the Lenny version of mktemp will create the
file in /tmp, as before).
