You likely have wrong permissions in some directory in /var.
The error occurs when trying to install the first dependency.

Check /var/tmp.  I have:

$ ls -lhd /var/tmp
drwxrwxrwt. 1 root root 3,4K 6 nov 21.50 /var/tmp

Another possibility is that you don't have enough disk space in /var. 
But this is just a guess, as it implies a wrong error message from 
flatpak.
