ubuntu --release resolute --arch amd64

mktemp: failed to create file via template '-d/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX': No such 
file or directory


This can be traced back to

- DOWNLOAD_TEMP="${DOWNLOAD_TEMP}$(mktemp -d)"

+ DOWNLOAD_TEMP="$(mktemp -p ${DOWNLOAD_TEMP} -d)"


in patch "templates-actually-create-DOWNLOAD_TEMP-directory.patch."

At this point in the code it is guaranteed that DOWNLOAD_TEMP is unset. 
And `mktemp -p -d` results to the above error (on linux).

The patch needs to be dropped.
