Package: linda Version: 0.3.26 If you set TMPDIR to a value with more than one path component, eg /root/tmp, then linda fails to build because it fails the test test_iterate_dir in base_funcs.py.
This is because the process used for stripping the prefix directory (which came from tempfile.mkdtemp) from the results of the iteration assumes that dir is "/tmp/<something>", and that it can therefore be removed by removing the first three /-separated components. Not only is this incorrect, it also fails to check that all of the generated filenames start with the nominated temporary directory. The patch below fixes this problem by removing exactly the expected initial prefix string, which is (dir+'/'), and failing if it finds paths not starting with the expected prefix. I have tested this fix on a current Ubuntu gutsy and there is no reason to think it won't work on Debian too.
