Bug#766063: atd-run doesn't work if libpam-tmpdir is used

[David Kalnischkies]

Package: autopkgtest
Version: 3.6

Hi,

while completing my testing of a fix for #765951 in apt I stumbled
(again) over permission issues with atd-run which suggests it has the
very same problem as apt – namely that it is trying to use a TMPDIR
which isn't accessible for the user trying to create files in it.

Running as normal user gives me an uninformative:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
adt-run [16:18:00]: version 3.6
adt-run [16:18:01]: testbed dpkg architecture: amd64
Unexpected error:

    with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:

adt-run [16:18:02]: ERROR: testbed failed: cannot send to testbed: ['BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe\n']
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

but running the same command as root gives a way "better" response:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  if [ "x`ls /var/lib/dpkg/updates`" != x ]; then
    echo >&2 "/var/lib/dpkg/updates contains some files, aargh"; exit 1
  fi

  " failed with stderr "mktemp: failed to create directory via template ‘/tmp/user/0/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX’: No such file or directory

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

btw: You don't have to run "apt-key add", you could just as well drop
the file into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
