According to bug #129289 as of version 0.5.8, apt supports TMPDIR for determining where apt-extracttemplates puts its temporary files. So the solution is to provide a separate directory as APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir which is accessible by root only and mounted with exec. You can replace /var/tmp/apt by whatever directory you provide for root apt temporary files. cat > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00tmpdir <<EOF APT { ExtractTemplates { TempDir "/var/tmp/apt"; } } DPkg { Pre-Invoke { "mkdir -m 0700 -p /var/tmp/apt"; } } EOF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
