RPM writes each package scriptlet (post-/preinstall) to /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.XXXXXX
--- a lot of files get created. When debugging is enabled, these temporary
scriptlet files aren't cleaned up at all and after a while this results in the
filesystem resources are eaten up (like running out of available inodes).
This is a quick fix to avoid this. It does degrade functionality for
those working with debugging pre-/postintall scripts.
Fixes [YOCTO #12792]
