Bug#807948: apt: 'update' fails with 'Couldn't create tempfiles for splitting up' InRelease files
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.10.2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When I upgrade to apt 1.1.3 or later (tested with both that and 1.1.4),
and then run 'apt-get update' or 'apt update', I get results like the
following:

========
As the below should indicate, I do have gnupg installed.
Downgrading back to apt 1.0.10.2 (which is a manual process involving
multiple passes with dpkg, due to dependency problems) restores
functionality.
A problem which looks like the same issue has been reported by an Ubuntu
user:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1524196
The configuration information below was captured from a system where the
downgrade back to 1.0.10.2 had been completed. The pins against apt and
aptitude-common are to prevent dist-upgrades from bringing back the
broken configuration again.
As far as I'm aware, nothing about my system should prevent this from
working. However, I've been unable to figure out how to get meaningful
information about what is failing.
If there is anything I can do to help track this down, please do not
hesitate to let me know.
