While emerging app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r5, the compile dies with an error in chmod, because one of the makefiles does "chmod -w" where it should be "chmod a-w". I have attached a patch to fix the appropriate Makefile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge a2ps Actual Results: Making all in man make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r5/work/a2ps-4.13/man' Updating man page a2ps.1 chmod: a2ps.1-t: new permissions are r--rw-rw-, not r--r--r-- make[2]: *** [a2ps.1] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r5/work/a2ps-4.13/man' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-text/a2ps-4.13c-r5/work/a2ps-4.13' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!
