@Sebastien Bacher thank you very much for looking into this issue. I don't know if it is worth tracking this further.
I just moved the /tmp directory back to the / partition, to avoid further trouble. And this actually solved the issue.

I gave again full access `chmod 777 /tmp` and set the sticky flag `chmod +t /tmp`: img-4.15. 0-45-generic img-4.15. 0-44-generic 4.15.0- 45-generic 4.15.0- 44-generic
