Title:
  Permission denied for custom entries in /etc/crontab

Status in “cron” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Upon upgrade to Precise from Oneiric, my custom cron jobs stopped
  working.

  Custom entries in '/etc/crontab' result in these errors:

  Apr 19 14:59:01 hostname CRON[5898]: Permission denied
  Apr 19 14:59:01 hostname CRON[5899]: Permission denied

  Jobs in '/var/spool/cron/crontabs' are not executed either, but there
  are no error messages.

  I expected these jobs to run normally. Using full paths made no
  difference. The commands run manually.

  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Release:	12.04

    Installed: 3.0pl1-120ubuntu3
