What solution would be preferable to fix this? The best solution is that I get to finish my skeleton-revamp series and get it merged( first was submitted on the lkist, second is WIP taking into account the comments that were made on the first): https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/systemd-skeleton https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/systemd-skeleton-2 Unfortunately, that won't be in 2016.08, as I haven't had time to finish it properly before rc1. So it will only go in for next cycle... :-/ In the meantime, just use a post-build script that cleans up the mess, like tweaking the unit file to not require PrivateTmp, or to remove the /var/tmp symlink and make it a directory.
