mktemp: failed to create file via template

[Csanyi Pal]

Hi,

after the upgrade of my operating system Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (wheezy) I
can't send anymore mails in Mutt.

Whenever I type 'y' to send a newly created or postponed message, I get
an error message:

mktemp: failed to create file via template '/home/user/tmp/mutt.XXXXXX':
No such file or directory

What is the problem and how can I solve it?

The Debian mutt package changes the default value of $tmpdir. I
would file a bug on the Debian bugtracker to report the problem.

In the meantime, you can change the value of $tmpdir in your
.muttrc or perhaps "mkdir ~/tmp" if you want to keep the new
tmpdir location.

"mkdir ~/tmp" solve this problem.

I use mutt under Debian/wheezy. I don't have the directory
/home/user/tmp and yet I don't have this problem. Where is the template for
the temporal files defined?
Best regards,
Luis
