Public bug reported:
I am using Ubuntu 18.04LTS, fresh install from the summer, and tmpfiles
won't launch since November.
$ sudo systemctl start systemd-tmpfiles-setup
Job for systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service failed because the control process
exited with error code.
See "systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service" and "journalctl -xe" for
details.
$ sudo systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup

Looking at /var/lib/colord/icc:

kris@mythserver2018:/var/lib/colord/icc$
I have also deleted these directories and rebuilt them, just to be sure - they
are NOT symlinked and have no permission issues:
kris@mythserver2018:/var/lib/systemd$ ls -l
