Comment # 2 on bug 1179292 from Jean Delvare

I checked on my laptop. The last stray /var/tmp/zypp.XXXXXX directory is from
November 13th, which is the day I upgraded the distribution from SLED 15 SP1 to
SP2. I see in the PackageKit-backend-zypp changelog that bug 1169739 is indeed
fixed there. So SLE 15 SP2 is good.

I checked on my desktop, which is running Leap 15.1. The last stray
/var/tmp/zypp.XXXXXX directory is from this morning. There's a reference to it
in /var/log/pk_backend_zypp as you suspected. Looking at the
PackageKit-backend-zypp changelog, I see no mention of bug 1169739 being fixed.
The first changelog entry is from September 2019. Bug 1169739 was originally
reported on SLES 15 SP1, so it should get fixed there as well.

I'll check the tumbleweed system when I gain read access to the system log
files. However, considering that there's a new directory /var/tmp/zypp.XXXXXX
created every hour, and the PackageKit-backend-zypp changelog does not mention
bug 1169739, that would be my prime suspect too. So apparently the bug fix was
not pushed to Tumbleweed either. I think I'll reopen the bug and ask for it.
