=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r7 $ ls -alh /usr/src/linux/scripts/basic/fixdep -rwx------ 1 root root 12K Oct 10 13:04 /usr/src/linux/scripts/basic/fixdep Should be something similar to: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12K Oct 10 13:04 /usr/src/linux/scripts/basic/fixdep If not, when portage builds driver ebuilds such as linuxwacom & nvidia-drivers, the ebuild will fail with a "cannot execute fixdep" error! Reproducible: Always For those looking for a temporary fix: chmod a+rw /usr/src/linux/scripts/basic/fixdep
Can you please post your emerge --info This is not a gentoo-sources issue as this file and it's permissions are created during kernel compilation.
Think I found it. I have umask set for user 0077 within .bashrc When su'ing over to root, the umask settings are preserved at 0077 instead of switching to the default within /etc/profile. I'm guessing, if a user is going to use umask for a user, they should also set the defaults (listed within /etc/profile as 0022) within the root's .bashrc as well. I'm also finding I have to do a chmod -R a+X /usr/src/linux to get the kernel sources readable by rsync on the remote hosts.
I'll find out within the next week as I'm currently upgrading GCC and re-emerging system/world if this, in fact, is the culprit. If so, I suggest adding an additional note within /etc/profile (top of file is where umask is set) concerning possible file permission errors if changing the default or root's umask -- hence, the user designated to use emerge. (Also, I'm using =sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc46 -- for which might be a culprit further down the line if profile's umask is irrelevant.)
