Title:
  mktemp permission denied on ubuntu 25.10

Status in coreutils-from package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in pollinate package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a fresh minimal installation of the daily builds of Ubuntu 25.10,
  the /usr/bin/pollinate script (as part of the `pollinate.service`
  systemd service) has some issues on line 23: `mktemp: Permission
  denied` (Exit code 126).

  It attempts to execute something like `mktemp -d -t
  "pollinate.XXXXXXXXXXX"` and that fails.

  Debugging steps:
  - Running that `mktemp` command manually: works.
  - Running `/usr/bin/pollinate` as root manually: does not work, same error as above. This rules out the systemd-service as the cause.
  - `/tmp` is mounted as the Ubuntu 25.10 default: `rw,nosuid,nodev,inode64,size=1740032k,nr_inodes=1048576` and is not listed in `/etc/fstab`
