That sometimes happens if I unpack tar files as root in /tmp.  If
there is a . file in the archive tar will set the ownership and
permissions of the /tmp directory the same as this file.

With this line you can find the offending package:

$ for j in `find path -name '*.deb'` ;do echo $j; dpkg -c $j | grep '/tmp/$'; 
done 

But I don't think that you'll find one.

In my experience this happens when untarring directly under /tmp a 
tarball containing ./
Better make a new dir under /tmp and untar inside it.

When happens use chmod 1777 /tmp to recreate the sticky bit.
