I’m seeing a growing set of files in /tmp. They look like tmp.K77McwaNFF.orig .
What are they?

Can you check the version #'s of the “asl3-update-nodelist” package installed on your device. You can do this using the command :
sudo asl-show-version
If you have a version prior to “1.4.0-1.deb12” then an update should take care of the growth. You can update/upgrade using Cockpit’s “Software updates” or via the command line.

It looks like you have the latest version of the “asl3-update-nodelist” package.
Were the “tmp.XXX.orig” files in /tmp created recently (ls -lt /tmp/ | head -20) ?
Do you know when you last updated the software packages on our system? Were the /tmp files created before or after the update(s)?
Also, to possibly answer your question, when I see .orig and .rej files in a directory they often are created by the “patch” command.
Are you still seeing an accumulation of .orig files in /tmp ?
Have you looked at any of the files? If so, what does the content look like ?
Lastly, have you installed any other packages (e.g. Supermon, SkyWarnPlus) ?
We are seeing this tmp file accumulation as well.
all .orig files generated every few minutes (or so).

Probably need to add
--no-backup-if-mismatch
to the patch routine:
patch --no-backup-if-mismatch -t -s -r 1 ${NEW_FILE} ${EXTNODESTMP}
Thank you for creating the GitHub issue AND the pull request 
Your fix has been incorporated into :
asl3-update-nodelist_1.5.0-1.deb12_all.deb
The package is currently available for “beta” testing. If you are willing to do some light testing of this package (and any others) you can exec the following commands as root (i.e. sudo -s). Please exec each command ONE AT A TIME (do not copy-paste the whole command set in) :
asl-repo-switch -l beta
apt update
apt upgrade -y
asl-repo-switch -l main
You guys have done a great job tackling a massive task - Glad to help minimize the effort on the “easy” stuff.
