[opensuse-security] mktemp randomness broken on opensuse < 11
Hi, mktemp RPM is broken, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495193. Opensuse 11 (coreutils) does it right. Previous versions (packet mktemp) provide under some circumstances no or not sufficient randomness and thus could lead to predictable file names.
