Created attachment 118484 [details, diff] proposed patch This is really all that's necessary for the test suite to work.

With the applied patch: Tests ok and coreutils got installed. Verified work of this patch. :) Just weird, anything possible to fix this? ("not writable by user 'nobody' at all", so these tests aren't be skipped anymore?) I am running "emerge" as root with this FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distcc parallel-fetch sandbox test userfetch userprivs usersandbox" --- ./basic-1: /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/coreutils-6.9-r1/work/coreutils-6.9/tests/install: not writable by user `nobody' ./basic-1: skipping this test SKIP: basic-1 ---
(In reply to comment #2) With newest coreutils-6.9-r1 (2nd release from June 11th 2007) it works now. No problem with tests, just the "not writable by user 'nobody' at all"-message. Short: Now works for me.
(In reply to comment #3) Shouldn't this bug be closed then? We have bug 219169, but that's another test issue there.
