/temp/.... ?  Is that a typo for /tmp/..... ?

validator creates tmpfiles, and these have relatively recently switched
to using mkstemp() for security.  Apart from the stray "e", that looks
much like a mkstemp filename.  So I'd guess it has a problem with
your filesystem.  If you've done a grep for any likely typo, check for
a full filesystem or one with over-restrictive permissions.

Hmmm, on second thoughts, mkstemp should internally replace those
questionmarks.  Looks your OS, and more specifically your libc,
may not support mkstemp.  What OS is this?
