  • Bug#1109730: /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf: add information why this file is

    From Michael Biebl@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 22 18:00:01 2025
    Package: systemd
    Version: 257.7-1
    Severity: wishlist

    Looking at /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf, it is pretty bare bones:

    $ cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf
    D /tmp 1777 root root 10d
    q /var/tmp 1777 root root 30d


    It also can't be attributed to any package
    $ dpkg -S /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf
    dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf


    Further investigation shows, this file is created by systemd.postinst on upgrades.

    It would be a good idea, if the file contained this information:
    - which package created it
    - why it was created
    - if it's safe to be removed
