Bugzilla Bug 141097

While attempting to emerge media-libs/libgphoto2-2.2.1-r1, I get the following
error during the test phase:

The interesting line is "/bin/sh: ./check-camera-list.sh: Permission denied".
Permission is denied because, for some reason, make is failing to make
check-camera-list.sh executible.

# ls -l check-camera-list.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1257 Jul 19 17:15 check-camera-list.sh

This only happens when `make check` is called from portage. I can delete that
file and rebuild it, and it get the correct permissions.

# rm check-camera-list.sh
# make check-camera-list.sh
Creating check-camera-list.sh
# ls -l check-camera-list.sh 
-rwx------ 1 root root 1257 Jul 19 17:19 check-camera-list.sh

I can duplicate the odd behavior by setting an odd umask, however.

# umask 0133
# rm check-camera-list.sh
# make check-camera-list.sh
Creating check-camera-list.sh
# ls -l check-camera-list.sh 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1257 Jul 19 17:20 check-camera-list.sh

ebuild test seems to work for me with no errors, and the script gets created
properly with the write execute bits set. Could it be your sfperms in your
make.conf?

actually, i take that back, i re-ran the tests a couple of times and removing
my tmp work directory and the problem appeared. investigating further

I think there is a problem with chown failing when make check is run, not with
the umask. I'm going to disable the tests unless a patch is submitted

I cannot reproduce this problem.
Do you can reproduce it on every try?
Is this problem solved in newer versions of libgphoto2 (in 2.3.1-r4)?

Well, the ebuild is test-restricted in 2.3.1-r4, so that's probably why it's
presently irreproducible.

How about asking arches to stabilise media-libs/libgphoto2-2.3.1-r4?

disabled tests for 2.2 as well to allow work on digikam to go on, I'll fill a
stabilization bug for 2.3 soon.
