Looks like they were part of the posttrans processing
Do you want a bug report on this ?
Most likely yes. I see the same, oldest rpm* files in /var/tmp are from 2023 Nov 8 ....
/var/tmp serves a similar purpose like /tmp, but with the difference that it can generally hold bigger files, and hold those longer.
$ cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/fs-var-tmp.conf d /var/tmp 1777 root root -
It is supposed to be NOT cleaned by default at all.
Wait, since when? O_O This is news to me considering: [1]"Automatic Clean-Up By default, systemd-tmpfiles will apply a concept of ⚠️ “ageing” to all files and directories stored in /tmp/ and /var/tmp/. This means that files that have neither been changed nor read within a specific time frame are automatically removed in regular intervals. (This concept is not new to systemd-tmpfiles, it’s inherited from previous subsystems such as tmpwatch.) By default files in /tmp/ are cleaned up after 10 days, and those in /var/tmp after 30 days." 1: https://systemd.io/TEMPORARY_DIRECTORIES/
I have a plenty of those too. It's worth a bug report.
