When trying to emerge tango-icon-theme-0.8 the package breaks during the install phase (as far as I can tell) and spits out hundreds of theese lines (for each file it tries to install): (rsvg-convert:11016): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: Permission denied /usr/bin/rsvg -w 48 -h 48 ./face-kiss.svg /var/tmp/portage/x11-themes/tango-icon-theme-0.8.0/image//usr/share/icons/Tango/48x48/emotes/face-kiss.png ACCESS DENIED mkdir: /root/.gnome2 And afterwards I suppose it prints a standard Sandbox violation error message (haven't caught that though because afterwards it prints out hundreds of lines of: mkdir: /root/.gnome2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
When playing around I noticed that this also happened with version 0.7.2 and occured because rsvg apparantly needed a ~/.gnome2 dir to be able to work correctly, and since I didn't have one (recently cleaned up my root home directory ) it tried to create it wich the sandbox wouldn't allow. So this is fixed I suppose, one question remains though, should rsvg really need a /root/.gnome2 director? But I guess that's an upstream question.
Workaround added...
