doesn't created needed directory for TMP

[KarlGoetz]

Sorry if this is a bzr-buildpackage bug and i got this wrong.

I kept running out of space on /tmp running bzr import-dsc (its a 2gb tempfs, it may not have been enough), so tried to set a different temporary directory with TMP=. This directory not exiting seems to be handled quite poorly, so i'm putting in this ticket.

i just tried without the quotes and it still fails. the TMP dir has to exist or it backtrace.

[Martin Pool (mbp)]

Do unix programs in general create $TMPDIR if it doesn't exist? I don't think they do.

Not in the general case. I don't particularly mind how this is
resolved, it'd just be nice if bzr didn't backtrace if $TMP is missing
