Many files in the mtools-*.tar.bz2 have the S (setuid) bit set and for some reason this makes them unreadable when they are on an NFS volume. Two such files are Makefile.in and msdos.h. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up so that $PORTAGE_TMPDIR is on an NFSv3 volume. 2. Emerge mtools. Actual Results: Build fails with files unable to be read. Expected Results: Build should succeed. The problem is caused by a fault in NFS (I think); nevertheless, the fault is only present in mtools and is easily cured, as set-out in the 'Description' above.
1) Please post your `emerge --info sys-fs/mtools' output in a comment. 2) Please attach the entire build log to this bug report. [ 3) NFS mounted PORTAGE_TMPDIR problems are quite common. ]

sed: can't read Makefile.in: Permission denied sed: can't read Makefile.in: Permission denied make: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 166 s in the future I guess you need to fix your NFS shares/mounts (and synchronise the systems' clocks) or simply not use it as PORTAGE_TMPDIR. There's nothing mtools is doing wrong here.
Many files in the mtools-*.tar.bz2 have the S (setuid) bit set and for some reason this makes them unreadable when they are on an NFS volume. Two such files are Makefile.in and msdos.h.
<<shrug>> It's your software, I can't make you fix it. You completely ignore my original problem description. How can a Makefile.in or a .h be setuid ? What's that supposed to mean ? And why ask for all that information if you're just going to reply "NFS problem" anyway ?
Any file can be setuid. Does it make sense on a non-executable file? No. # touch foo ; chmod u+s foo There, foo is setuid. We should maybe pass --no-same-permissions to tar to avoid restoring the setuid bit.
the files are not setuid, they're setgid. and setgid does make sense on files when they're not +x. however, they're probably spurious in the mtools tarball. --no-same-permissions implies sane umask, but that shouldn't be an issue when running under portage. but this would be something for portage to handle, not special case in mtools.
If we change unpack behavior then it has to go through PMS.
(In reply to comment #11) > If we change unpack behavior then it has to go through PMS. I'd rather not change general unpack behaviour because of a single package that has problems. If the mtools tarball contains spurious files with the setgid bit set, then this should be fixed. So please report it upstream.

OK, there appears not to be a formal bug database as such but I've emailed the maintainer given on the mtools web page. > > Many files in the mtools-*.tar.bz2 have the S (setuid) bit set and for some > > reason this makes them unreadable when they are on an NFS volume. > I cannot reproduce this problem.

Thanks. > As I said, I do believe there is something subtly wrong with my NFS setup and > there are unresolved queries on the Gentoo fora about it. I'm using a Gentoo > client with nfsvers=3 and a Solaris 10 server. Hm, looks like it's a known problem: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/nfs-discuss/2006-October/000360.html>
The maintainer has emailed me to say that this will be fixed in the next release.
