Title:
  console-setup fails intermittently due to a missing file in /tmp

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in console-setup source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In our testing of cloud images, we intermittently see an error along
  the lines of:

  May 09 17:59:27 ubuntu setupcon[476]: /bin/setupcon: 809:
  /bin/setupcon: cannot open /tmp/tmpkbd.7L3GEu: No such file

  This only happens from time-to-time which suggests that it's a race
  condition.
