On my Raspberry Pi2 (running Gentoo of cause) I have a problem with portage, or rather with emerge. When emerging something I get some error messages about "shell-init:... permission denied" like this:
---------------------8<--------------------- >> Emerging (1 of 1) app-arch/xz-utils-5.2.2::gentoo shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied >>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/xz-5.2.2.tar.gz' --2016-03-26 16:31:48-- http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/xz-5.2.2.tar.gz Length: 1464228 (1.4M) [application/octet-stream] Saving to: ‘/usr/portage/distfiles/xz-5.2.2.tar.gz’ /usr/portage/distfi 100%[=====================>] 1.40M 3.06MB/s in 0.5s 2016-03-26 16:31:48 (3.06 MB/s) - ‘/usr/portage/distfiles/xz-5.2.2.tar.gz’ saved [1464228/1464228] * xz-5.2.2.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...

I tried to debug emerge (using --debug), but surprise surprise, just before the error messages shows there is a "set +x" in the output, hence I can not see which command it is that "produces" the error message and I can also not see the path/file that is the culprit. Any suggestions on how to debug this further? -- Dan Johansson, <http://www.dmj.nu> *************************************************** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***************************************************
