Yes.

You're a genius!

I can confirm that setting TMPDIR to some directory in /tmp/ fixes the
package-test errors for me.


The regexp-test error persists. Adding (require 'regexp-opt) to the top of
regexp-test.el fixes that.

Any idea why my Emacs does not load regexp-opt by default, while it
apparently does elsewhere?
