Yes, that was it. I've also noticed that although the typical directory ownership in /var/tmp/portage is portage:portage, there are some dirs which have root:portage; e.g.: ============================================= [snip...] drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Mar 20 2006 glib-2.8.5 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Jun 22 2006 glibc-2.3.6-r3 drwxrwxr-x 7 root portage 208 Sep 6 09:49 gmp-4.2.1 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Mar 17 2006 gnuconfig-20051223 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Mar 11 2006 gnupg-1.4.2.1 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Apr 26 2006 gpg-agent-1.9.19 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Oct 25 2005 graphviz-1.16 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Aug 16 2005 grep-2.5.1-r7 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Jan 22 2006 gst-plugins-0.8.10 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Jan 22 2006 gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.10 drwxrwxr-x 6 root portage 208 Nov 2 14:18 gst-plugins-dvdnav-0.8.11 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Jan 25 2006 gst-plugins-flac-0.8.10 drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 72 Jan 26 2006 gst-plugins-mad-0.8.10 [snip...] ============================================= Should these be so?
