Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: coreutils

Package: coreuils
Version: 7.4-2ubuntu2
Release: 10.04

$ mktemp XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png
mktemp: too few X's in template `XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png'

WTF?!

$ mktemp tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png
mktemp: too few X's in template `tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.png'

Say what again?

$ mktemp tmp.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
$

Allright, so mktemp seems to need a prefix.

That makes it quite useless for some task, like if you want to produces
files of a specific "type", for today's luser-proof GUI Apps that won't
list files that don't fit into their narrow horizon.
