Hello,

Over the last few days aptitude in my testing system detects an
unsolved package dependency, concerning the package 'mktemp'. Here's
the output of full-upgrade:

I tried to find some information on packages.debian.org on mktemp but
there wasn't any, so I can't decide on whether the package is
important enough for me to consider upgrading coreutils to the
unstable version (a risky move) or downgrade mktemp to the stable
version. So I just wait until the dependency solves itself. Would
anybody happen to know whether it would be safe to upgrade coreutils?
Or just any information regarding mktemp?

Thanks in advance,

Jason
