[Bug 1600582] Re: Installation of "Desktop Applications" breaks BQ Phones

[Rodney Dawes]

OK, mvo suggested that debsig-verify had /tmp hardcoded, and that this
is fixed in the newer version from xenial. However, after having built
and installed it on my phone, i don't see any difference in behavior. I
don't see any files getting created in TMPDIR beyond a simple domain
socket, which is presumably coming from click or something else, which
gets destroyed after a package is finished installing. There are no
other files appearing in TMPDIR while watching it with "watch ls -la
$TMPDIR" yet the "used" memory count displayed in top, seems to increase
to roughly the size of the click being installed.

I don't know where this is coming from exactly, but it seems it's not
actually debsig-verify that is the problem here.

Title:
  Installation of "Desktop Applications" breaks BQ Phones

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in click package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If you install "Desktop Applications" from the store on a BQ E4.5 or E5 HD it breaks the installation. The click is about ~600 MB big which is not the problem but it tries to uncompress it to the root partition after downloading and the files are ~1,5 GB big while the root partition on the BQ phones is 2 GB big and usually filled up to 75%.
  Therefore the installation will fail but the root partition stays full and the user cant download any more apps or install OTA's and has to reflash the phone.

  Yes the app description says "we recommend that owners of these
  devices do not install the Desktop Applications click package" but it
  should be more specific.
