Subject: bug#58858: Installation script fails on distributions that use busybox
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 22:30:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86k04jsnb2.fsf@conses.eu> (raw)
Hi,
Following the instructions in the manual, I attempted to install the
package manager in Alpine Linux via the official installation
script. However, after completing the first prompts I got the error
"mktemp: (null): Invalid argument". Upon closer inspection of the script
and busybox's `mktemp' help page, which states the following:
TEMPLATE must end with XXXXXX (e.g. [/dir/]nameXXXXXX)
It's clear that the script should be modified to account for this with
at least 6 "X" characters in the template, and this wouldn't pose a
problem with GNU's `mktemp' because it takes "at least" 3 of them.

Best regards,
conses
