Arch Linux

Description
-----------

If the environment variable `TMPDIR` is set to something unusual, then
`mkarchiso` fails. I think having a non-standard setting for TMPDIR
is valid use, otherwise it would make little sense for it to be a
variable.


Version information
-------------------

I've tried this with

$ pacman -Q $(pactree -u -d1 archiso)
archiso 52-1
arch-install-scripts 23-2
bash 5.1.004-1
dosfstools 4.2-1
e2fsprogs 1.46.2-1
libisoburn 1.5.4-2
mtools 4.0.27-1
squashfs-tools 4.4-2

Output of `mkarchiso -v /usr/share/archiso/configs/baseline/
1>mkarchiso.log 2>&1` is at the end.


Steps to reproduce
------------------

1. Use a valid, but unusual `TMPDIR`, e.g.,

# export TMPDIR=/tmp/foo
# mkdir -p "${TMPDIR}"

2. Follow the steps of [1] to build an ISO from the unchanged `baseline`
or `releng` profiles:

# mkarchiso -v /usr/share/archiso/configs/baseline/
...
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'archiso'
-> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
mktemp: failed to create directory via template '/tmp/foo/mkinitcpio.XXXXXX': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: Failed to create temporary working directory in /tmp/foo
error: command failed to execute correctly
...
install: cannot stat '/root/work/x86_64/airootfs/boot/initramfs-*.img': No such file or directory

Complete log is below.

3. Running the same with `TMPDIR=/tmp` works fine:

# export TMPDIR=/tmp
# mkarchiso -v /usr/share/archiso/configs/baseline/
...
[mkarchiso] INFO: Done!
343M /root/out/archlinux-baseline-2021.04.25-x86_64.iso

I assume that `mktemp` is run inside an environment that does not have
`/tmp/foo` present, but still uses the original value of `TMPDIR`.
Approaches to a solutions might be to set `TMPDIR` inside the
environment so that it matches the environment, not to rely on
`TMPDIR`, or to make sure that `TMPDIR` exists in the environment.
