Package: mailcap
Version: 3.73
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading the "mailcap" package, I tried to view an image using
the "see" command and got an error:
        Error in tempfile() using template XXXXXXXXX.jpeg: Could not create 
temp file iFFdXYFJn.jpeg: Read-only file system at /usr/bin/see line 143.

strace shows it's trying to create that file in the current directory,
which is not writable.  I have "nametemplate=%s.jpeg" in my .mailcap,
and it's no longer being interpreted relative to $TMPDIR, as in 3.72.

A work-around is to use a line like "nametemplate=/tmp/%s.jpeg" (but
/etc/mailcap does not).

- Michael
