Assuming it's /usr/lib/portage/python3.6/ebuild-helpers/dobin, mine
contains as the last significant chunk the following:
for x in "$@" ; do
if [[ -e ${x} ]] ; then
install -m0755 -o ${PORTAGE_INST_UID:-0} -g
${PORTAGE_INST_GID:-0} "${x}" "${ED%/}/${_E_DESTTREE_#/}/bin"
else
echo "!!! ${0##*/}: $x does not exist" 1>&2
false
fi
((ret|=$?))
done
so it is indeed trying to set the owner to root. Maybe if I set
PORTAGE_INST_{UID,GID} to my own it will not really try to change them.
Are you saying you didn't have to do that? Does your version of the
script contain the above code?
