Public bug reported: Permissions problem creating file in /tmp. I worked around it by temporarily removing the sticky bit on /tmp; this enabled the package to install, but is obviously unacceptable in a release package.
This occurred on upgrading a MythTV frontend box from Eoan to Focal development.
