That's because portage is using FEATURES=userfetch by default (iirc), which downloads files as the portage user. What are the permissions on your distfiles dir? Post the output of 'ls -ld /usr/portage /usr/portage/distfiles', please.

Try creating a new directory to see if that makes any difference: mv /usr/portage/distfiles /usr/portage/distfiles.old mkdir /usr/portage/distfiles mv /usr/portage/distfiles.old/* /usr/portage/distfiles rm -rf /usr/portage/distfiles.old The permissions on the new directory should be automatically adjusted by portage, so you shouldn't have to use chmod or chown.
Is your /usr/portage on NFS?
no the it is on local disk I, using reiserfs. But it worked goog until last nice -n 19 emerge -avu world

Maybe your portage user/group are broken somehow. For example, it the portage user isn't in the portage group then it might trigger this behavior. Do the portage user and group entries look normal in /etc/passwd and /etc/group?

Can you download the files manually to /usr/portage/distfiles with uid=portage, e.g. with `su -s /bin/bash portage -c 'wget ...'` ?

This one seems to just get weirder and weirder. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your reiserfs needs a good fsck'ing.
I already tried to fsck it. I used fsck.reiserfs --fix-fixable and fsck.reiserfs --adjust-size it did not helped
What are the permissions on /usr/bin/wget (`ls -l /usr/bin/wget` output)?
ls -l /usr/bin/wget -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 209620 16. kvě 2008 /usr/bin/wget
it is realy interesting because nice -n 19 emerge -av --sync works like charm
Could it be because of this? wnen as root I do: su portage su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info (Ignored)
(In reply to comment #19) > Could it be because of this? > wnen as root I do: > su portage > su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info > (Ignored) No, that's normal.
You might try setting DISTDIR to some other location with a different file system type, just to see if it makes any difference. FWIW, you can set FEATURES="-userfetch" in /etc/make.conf to force it to fetch with root privileges.
Thank you this works. Fo me the problem is solved. If anybody have an idea what to try to have it running without FEATURES="-userfetch". Let me know I'm ready to to test. :-)
I had EXACTLY the same problem... very strange. I copied over the entire installation from another machine and made a mistake - the /usr directory was in mode 700, so no ordinary user could go to /usr/bin and execute anything - in particular the user portage could not execute /usr/bin/wget. this is what all the permission denied errors are about - no one has the permission enter /usr...

It came after an update from portage, I have absolutely no idea why... The "-userfetch" solved the thing. But I don't like the idea of having to run portage as root. My permissions on /usr, /usr/bin are ok. Could it be a bug we got from a previous portage update ?
I had the same problem It turned out that one of the parent directories of the distfiles directory had permissions denying portage access.
This problem accuire if you make copy system to system with dump/restore utilites and answer "y" to question "set owner/mode for '.'?" This is effect, cause - lost right permission. Sorry for my english Bryzgalov Konstantin
