Package: autoconf Version: 2.13-53 Severity: normal Tags: patch Removing the same temporary file twice is bad programming practice (and can have unexpected consequences) , it seems that when autoconf's autoupdate was patched to fix a security bug a programming bug was introduced.
Also, since mktemp already implements (through -t) a way to use either /tmp or $TMPDIR, it's not a good idea to force it to use /tmp even though the user might want all his temporary files in $TMPDIR. Both issues are fixed in the attached patch, which should speak fo itself. Regards Javier
