So, before systemd-tmpfiles was used, Ubuntu used tmpreaper to perform
periodic cleaning of the /tmp dir. tmpreaper had a list of exceptions:
--protect '/tmp/.X*-{lock,unix,unix/*}' \
--protect '/tmp/.ICE-{unix,unix/*}' \
--protect '/tmp/.iroha_{unix,unix/*}' \
--protect '/tmp/.ki2-{unix,unix/*}' \
--protect '/tmp/lost+found' \
--protect '/tmp/journal.dat' \
--protect '/tmp/quota.{user,group}' \
Looking at the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d directory, it looks like only a few
files are excluded by the automatic deleting, for example the ones
listed in systemd-tmp.conf.
Disabling automatic cleaning isn't a viable solution, as that would
reintroduce issues with long-running systems.
So, the best way to tackle this issue IMHO would be for each affected
package to ship a configuration file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d that list
files that shouldn't be deleted.
Please add to this bug the packages that are affected by automatic
cleaning.
