dev-python/pychecker's ebuild seems to be bogus. The installation fails with the below output. A brief look at the ebuild and setup.py script suggests that the ebuild writes outside of ${D}, but I might be wrong. (Sorry, I have no time to look at this myself right now; school+work keep me too busy). changing mode of /var/tmp/portage/pychecker-0.8.7/image//usr/bin/pychecker to 100755 running install_data copying COPYRIGHT -> /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pychecker error: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pychecker/COPYRIGHT: Permission denied !!!

yes, it doesn't seem to want to respect ${D}. Forwarding to karltk: fix or mask, at your discretion.
Submitted bug report to the pychecker people. Will mask ebuild(s) for now.
Fixed in dev-python/pychecker-0.8.10
0.8.10 was masked, and did not build for me. I fixed the ebuild, and created 0.8.10-r1, which works, and though this bug is closed, I felt it only prudent to comment in it.
