Public bug reported:

On up-to-date Precise, using the "Reinstall previous purchases..."
option in Software Centre causes files with wrong permissions to be
added to /etc/apt/sources.list.d:

$ ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 142 Jan 29 15:04 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_beep_ubuntu.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148 Jan 29 15:04 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_brukkon_ubuntu.list
-rw-r----- 1 root root 150 Jan 29 15:04 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_memory-owl_ubuntu.list

where I've fixed the permissions for the first two entries, and the last
one is Software Centre's own.

This causes crashes in aptdaemon, in apt-get, in command-not-found, and
possibly others. Running 'chmod o+r' on the relevant files fixes these
problems.
