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
