Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: at

In all of my installations of Karmic (5 so far), atd jobs refuse to run.
At the requested time of execution, I instead see the following in my
cron.log:

Jan 19 11:48:00 myhost atd[9054]: Cannot delete saved userids: Operation
not permitted

Assuming you have the "mail" and "at" executables installed, the bug can
be repeated with a simple test:

echo 'echo "testing atd" | mail -s "atd test" root' | sudo at `date -d
"2 minutes" +%H:%M`

If it worked, root would receive mail. Instead, you will see the error
in your logs in one to two minutes. As far as I can tell *all* at jobs
are affected, rendering this package completely unusable.
