          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 69446
          Assignee: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Race condition in libtpcodegen.py:set_file_contents()
        QA Contact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: ross at burtonini.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: mission-control
           Product: Telepathy

set_file_contents() uses a predictable name for it's temporary file when
writing atomically, and (at least) mission-control can hit a race in parallel
builds. (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5184)

Luckily this is known as telepathy-glib fixed these in
36c2a545c9c1d1cc6db205bfc33d980d29b0a0f6 so the same fixes need to be applied
to mission-control.

(fwiw, I've also a proof-of-concept patch for the predicable name issue)
