Public bug reported: The output of my apticron cron job emailed to me says, "WARNING: tempfile is deprecated; consider using mktemp instead."
A quick search yields two usages of the tempfile command in /usr/sbin/apticron. Please fix so that people don't have to get emails from apticron consisting of nothing but this warning.
