I can not reproduce this here with R-2.4.0. Could you please provide your emerge --info. It looks like your files are pretty old, are you sure they are from a recent install such as R-2.4.0?? Thanks, Markus
Looks like I've hit bug 58611 - directory permissions remain from some old version because portage doesn't update them. So it could be any of these: * dev-lang/R Tue Feb 28 19:42:25 2006 >>> dev-lang/R-2.1.1 Tue Feb 28 20:29:23 2006 >>> dev-lang/R-2.2.1 Thu May 11 17:49:19 2006 >>> dev-lang/R-2.3.0 Tue Jun 6 05:29:41 2006 >>> dev-lang/R-2.3.1 Fri Oct 6 20:43:32 2006 >>> dev-lang/R-2.4.0 Mon Oct 16 10:23:40 2006 >>> dev-lang/R-2.4.0 Looking at the mtime, it's probably from 2.1.1... Bug 58611 suggests the only way to work around this is to do check in pkg_postinst(). So if you care... I will go fix it manually meanwhile.
I haven't done anything about this one but I'd rather not mess with pkg_postinst. If you'd really like to see it fixed please let me know and re-open and I will do it. Thanks, Markus
