Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. emerge -s openssl (as root) appears broke 3. emerge -s openssl (as non-root) appear to work emerge --info Portage 2.2.00.15742-prefix (prefix/sunos/solaris/5.10/x86, gcc-4.4.3, unavailable, 5.10 i86pc) ================================================================= System uname: Solaris-2.10-i86pc-i386-32bit-ELF Timestamp of tree: Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:06:22 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p37 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.0-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.2-r00.1, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.51.0.4 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r00.2 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86-solaris" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i386-pc-solaris2.10" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" CHOST="i386-pc-solaris2.10" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CPPFLAGS="-I/sys_tools/usr/include" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/sys_tools/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests collision-protect distlocks fixpackages news nostrip parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LDFLAGS="-L/sys_tools/usr/lib -R/sys_tools/usr/lib -L/sys_tools/lib -R/sys_tools/lib" PKGDIR="/sys_tools/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/sys_tools/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/sys_tools/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/sys_tools/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/sys_tools/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.prefix.freens.org/gentoo-portage-prefix" USE="cracklib cxx kerberos modules ncurses nls prefix readline ssl unicode x86-solaris zlib" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_ftp proxy_http auth_digest" ELIBC="SunOS" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="SunOS" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
