I encountered this bug also, and it originated with a shell script that
invoked rrdtool and exported a tar file to /tmp. Once this was done,
/tmp was apparently owned by user ganglia (the rrdtool user) rather than
root.  Chown-ing to root:root didn't fix the issue, however.  Chmod-ing
/tmp to 1777 *did* fix this issue and apt-key was working normally after
that.
