[Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-creator fails with $TMPDIR not in build root

[Jim Meyering]

I've been experimenting with livecd-creator and my first
run failed because I had TMPDIR=/t/jt7300.Wu7340.
[btw, this is on rawhide x86_64, with latest cloned from git]

I did this:

  ./livecd-creator \
    --config=/usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-minimal.ks \
    --cache=/tmp/livecd-cache

When I reran it with a more conventional TMPDIR, it completed
successfully:

  TMPDIR=/tmp ./livecd-creator \
    --config=/usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-minimal.ks \
    --cache=/tmp/livecd-cache

FYI, here's how it failed:
