Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?  Was testing functionality for a company to use gnome-software to installa .deb files for novice users
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)? Deleting folders created by gnome-software in /tmp (folders with a copy of the .deb) solved the issue
   * What was the outcome of this action? I need to implement som kind of cronjob to remove these temp folders gnome-software is creating
   * What outcome did you expect instead? That the software did this instead

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
