Comment:
It seems like this issue only happens when running the update from remote, `ssh`ing into the machine and running `xbps-install -Su` works.

Closing for now, as a workaround exists. Could be related to https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/c8e0c3dc98fd051c397d654f2bc05df0e12c5133

Probably related to `$TMPDIR`.

Oh wow, yes I do set up that variable when `sshing` into the host. 

Thanks!

It should fallback to some tempdir defined by libc.

Comment:
No, my `$TMPDIR` is not empty, thus it will not default to the `libc` defined one.

I did not know XBPS uses the `TMPDIR` env. I am going to rename the var in my scripts to avoid future issues.
