Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: at
When testing the "at" command in a console, I got this after upgrading
to Intrepid:
Cannot open lockfile /var/spool/cron/atjobs/.SEQ: Permission denied
The /var/spool/cron permissions are as expected (see
/var/lib/dpkg/info/at.postinst for more info).
However, when I checked out the /usr/bin/at command, it was missing the
u+s permission. Is that intended? If so, should the .SEQ be g+rw too? At
this time it is -rw------- (u+rw only).
By doing this:
chmod u+s /usr/bin/at
it fixed my problem, but it feels wrong if the security could prevent
the user setuid...
On the other hand, it was that way in older systems (8.04 still has the
u+s flag turned on.)
Thank you.

P.S. There is the version, and also I tried an "apt-get install
--reinstall at" to see whether the permissions would be magically fixed
and nothing was changed...
