Thank you.

It was being caused by a file named
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50extracttemplates.  This file was installed on two
different machines.  The two files were similar, but not identical.  As
noted in the original post, the /tmp partition had been moved in
searching for a fix for another problem.  This file was apparently
installed by something which I had installed to read twitter security
feeds in an RSS reader.  It is my understanding that parsing dynamic
webpages requires templates. So that would make sense from a naming
standpoint.  I am unable to find the package containing this file by
using apt-file or dpkg -S, so I assume it was dynamically created by the
install program, which would match with the two files being similar, but
not identical.  I do not name apt.conf modifications with filenames
starting with numbers.  My custom conf files are norecommendationsplease
and nosuggestionsplease.

Thanks to all who helped.
