That almost sounds like you don't have write permission to $TMPDIR.
Do you have any configuration that changes the value of $TMPDIR? (if
you don't know about it you probably don't) What do the following
commands output?
ls -dl /tmp
echo $TMPDIR

Sure looks like it. Mounting lenny's root partition on /other on
my backup etch system, I get
lovesong:/farhome/hendrik# ls -ld /other/tmp
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2007-12-31 10:05 /other/tmp
This is about as wrong for /tmp as I imagine. (Well, no,
I could imagine it being a file, or a named pipe -- that
would work worse)
Easy to fix, once diagnosed. Will report back after I have a chance
to reboot.
Thanks. How did you ever manage to think of this?
