Package: systemd Version: 239-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
At the moment Debian carries a patch against /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf This patch sets the type for `/tmp` to `D`, causing the content of the directory to be removed when systemd-tmpfiles is invoked with `--remove`. See man tmpfiles.d(5) and man systemd-tmpfiles(8). In other words, `/tmp` is cleaned up at some moment of the boot, and there's a risk that a process is owning and using a file at this moment, causing a failure. I personally came accross such failure with console-setup, and the bug is already reported at: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=846256> It seems to me that just dropping the patch would solve the issue. This patch was introduced after this discussion: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=675422> The discussion doesn't actually give much rational about the patch.
