the problem is "userpriv" .... libpcre doesn build with userpriv, my guess is that it was only tested with userid=0. please investigate that further, every ebuild should work with userpriv usersandbox etc..etc..
There are other bugs related to sandboxpids.tmp, and both 4.2-r1 and 4.4 emerge just fine here with userpriv and usersandbox, so it's not a pcre bug. Reassigning to portage.
This should be fixed as portage should not spawn a second sandbox instance as of 2.0.50.

By the way, I'm still seeing this bug with portage-2.0.50_pre16 xterm1: gaim $ sudo emerge gaim xterm2: xmms $ repoman >>> /tmp/sandboxpids.tmp file mode: r+ open: Permission denied >>> pids file write: Illegal seek aux_get(): (0) Error in media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r20 ebuild.

I'm guessing this has fallen off of the radar because of the InCVS keyword, but I think that's wrong... since I see this regularly on portage-2.0.50_pre16
Yep, me too

I'm removing the InCVS keyword. You can put it back if it's real, but I'm running portage-2.0.50_pre22 and this problem persists (and is really annoying). I want to be able to run repoman in a couple windows at once, plus emerge in another window. This bug makes that impossible (along with bug 26007)
Nick said, "This should be fixed as portage should not spawn a second sandbox instance as of 2.0.50." This bug is not fixed.
Portage team, could somebody provide a comment on the status of this bug, whether or not there will be a fix in the next release, etc?
I talked about this bug with carpaski. We should change the file's permission to 664 and group to portage. I'm not familiar with sandbox and carpaski is busy.. azarah, can you do that?
Created attachment 26584 [details, diff] sandbox-perms-grp.patch This fixes it.
What is about this bug? I saw it on a newly installed gentoo system, but it's not really reproducable. On another system I don't get this error.
This bug happens in 2.0.50-r1 when you do two emerge(or repoman) process as different user at the same time. Azarah has fixed this bug in 2.0.50-r2(But it is masked due to other problem now).
Should be fixed.
