Bug 24989 – gawk 3.1.3 "Operation not permitted", set permissions fails

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Tobias Sager 2003-07-21 12:45:28 UTC]

I'm working with FEATURES="fixpackages sandbox ccache userpriv".

gawk-3.1.3 fails here because of the copying of filefuncs fix (bug 24974) and insufficient permissions:
<snip>
>>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/gawk-3.1.3 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) gawk-3.1.3.tar.gz
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking gawk-3.1.3.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/gawk-3.1.3/work

cp: setting permissions for `/var/tmp/portage/gawk-3.1.3/work/filefuncs/filefuncs.c': Operation not permitted
cp: setting permissions for `/var/tmp/portage/gawk-3.1.3/work/filefuncs': Operation not permitted

This patch fixes the problem.
