Temporary files ending up in final package

[toazd]

Build and Testing environment: CachyOS Arch (affects both fish and bash shells)

There are files ending up in the final package that shouldn't be there. Namely,

• namcap-checks
• namcap-dependencies
• namcap-libraries

Because of this, multiple packages (for different apps) refuse to install because the first one installed already owns these extraneous files.

Presumably, this is occurring because the redirects that create these files are creating them in the working directory for the package lines 2956, 2958, 2959, 2794, and 2972. It could also be because those temporary files aren't cleaned up before creating the package.

According to GPT-5.3 this is the problem:

Root cause: the script only removed namcap* temp files inside the Depends/Pre-Depends branch. If that branch is skipped, those files remain in the working dir and get included by * during .MTREE and final tar creation.

And this is the solution:

+++ b/debtap_fix

 # Generating .MTREE file
 echo -e "\n${lightgreen}==>${NC} ${bold}Generating .MTREE file...${normal}"

A quick test run shows that the files are no longer in the final package but i'll leave the choice of whether or not this is the real fix up to you.
