Syslog shows this:

Apr 18 14:44:24 tsukasa atd[7696]: Cannot change to /var/spool/cron/atjobs: Permission denied
Apr 18 14:44:34 tsukasa atd[7726]: Cannot change to /var/spool/cron/atjobs: Permission denied
Apr 18 14:44:37 tsukasa atd[7756]: Cannot change to /var/spool/cron/atjobs: Permission denied

atjobs has correct permissions:

$ sudo ls -ld /var/spool/cron/atjobs
drwxrwx--T 2 daemon daemon 4096 2009-04-05 00:18 /var/spool/cron/atjobs

btw directory is only property of root user:
$ sudo ls -ld /var/spool/cron
drwx------ 5 root root 4096 2009-04-04 17:53 /var/spool/cron

so I fix with:
$ sudo chmod +x /var/spool/cron
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
