I tested the updated package and at least quilt and mutt seems to broken by
the permission changes:
[~]> quilt new foo
cat: /tmp/quilt.mwTVWM: Permission denied
Patch patches/foo is now on top
And running mutt results in:
"Error creating temporary file /tmp/mutt-...."
Rolling back to an older snapshot fixes the problem.
