Package: tasksel
Version: 3.59
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Using tasksel to install some task, or with the --new-install
option
ends successfully, but with a warning:
WARNING: tempfile is deprecated; consider using mktemp instead.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Just read through the postinst script to see how paths get handled.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I could not find what I was looking for, as tasksel maybe
depends on
another package which is responsible for the warning.
* What outcome did you expect instead?

The warning comes from tempfile itself, added in debianutils 4.10. The
obvious, but untested attached patch fixes that, although it might be
better to use File::Temp instead (in perl-base since version 5.20.1-3).
Cheers,
Sven

tasksel builds fine with Sven's "tempfile -> mktemp" patch applied, so any
objections against this?

When rechecking for the warning I figured out that `tasksel
--new-install` also gives an error. I'm not sure if this is because of
already having all needed and available packages that option offers
installed, or if it maybe is another bug.
sudo tasksel --new-install

Could you confirm that the version Holdger uploaded fixes the issue?
If it doesn't, please remove the “fixed in v3.60” tag I just added.

You can - of course - say, that is another issue, and thus #972076 can be closed,
but then the other issue should get a separate bugreport.

Sounds like another bug, but I'll try to reproduce with the new tasksel.

Agreed, cloning this report as I do not see a separate one in the BTS yet.

So updating the list of not-affected versions.

Tested today with tasksel 3.69+rebuild from unstable:
this issue is still unreproducible, so let's close this bug.
