Your user is not authorized to change the permission of that folder that
way and package do not change any user configuration, which means you
runned an application with sudo which did that

Why? How unlikely is it that some people runned the same program with
sudo?

One of that applications is broken then. Which one did you run with
sudo? Banshee is an application non installed by default by example.
It's likely that your problem comes from one application which is not
from the default set because otherwise we would probably have a bunch of
duplicate bugs about that
