(In reply to comment #0) > CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /etc/ /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt" It's because you have /etc/ in CONFIG_PROTECT. It's probably in either make.conf or /etc/env.d somewhere.
random connman # cat /etc/make.conf | grep CONFI CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc/" ;-( Still not sure portage should do this but your right. I'll fix and because I don't really think it should behave that way I'll let you choose close or not but change the flag to minor ..can't. In the old bugzilla thought I could do that iirc. Not available now.
I think "garbage in, garbage out" is fine behavior for something like this. Otherwise we'd be adding validation code that's practically unnecessary.
