Package: packagekit
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: important

packagekit creates a /tmp/aptcc directory, to then create a temporary
sub-directory with mkdtemp.  That seems to entirely miss the point of
mkdtemp.  Please make the template /tmp/aptccXXXXXX or something like
that instead of /tmp/aptcc/XXXXXX.  On a related note packagekit seems
to ignore the return value of g_mkdir and mkdtemp.  (I'm wondering what
would be the impact of a user either creating /tmp/aptcc as a file, or
as a symlink to some root-owned directory.)

Cheers,
Julien
