I have the same hesitations, but we don't know the filenames to
clean up. We can't remove every /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.*, since they
can be created by unrelated rpm executions.

This suggests some (probably[*]) larger, upstreamable work done
in rpm itself, to be able to configure that behavior. I think
this is better than nothing, for now. Perhaps the bug report
shouldn't be closed, and this be merged as a workaround? (It
causes real issues, at least for images with lots of
pre/postinstalls.)

Does anybody see value in what --rpmverbosity=debug brings, as
opposed to the default level of info? Would dropping that from
lib/oe/package_manager.py's RpmPM._invoke_dnf be a better
solution, or workaround?

(Or maybe this is a bug in dnf? At least, this side effect is not
clearly documented, from what I can tell :))
