Package: gnupg-agent
Version: 2.0.17-2
Severity: normal

gpg-agent creates $GPG_AUTH_SOCK within a temporary directory of the
form /tmp/gpg-XXXXXX.  These directories often stick around and don't
get cleaned up.  (Right now I have piles of them just from the past
month.) These directories seem like a perfect fit for /var/run, rather
than /tmp, since they exist primarily to provide a socket.  Moving them
to /var/run should not break anything (since $GPG_AUTH_SOCK would point
to the new location), and should allow these directories to get
automatically cleaned up.  Furthermore, this reduces clutter in /tmp.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
