The combined output of emerge {-pqv,--info} sys-power/acpi_call and the build.log.

I have FEATURES="userpriv" set in make.conf.  With this setting, emerge of sys-power/acpi_call-9999 fails with a red bulleted call stack.  The command following emerge command succeeds.

sudo FEATURES="-userpriv" emerge -av sys-power/acpi_call

Attachment 297865 [details] contains emerge --info, emerge -pqv, and build.log.

It's somehow git issue. Can you try to remove git dir (${DISTDIR}/*git-src/acpi_call or something like this) and try again?

That fixed the problem.  In /usr/portage/distfiles there existed the following directory.

drwxrwxr-x 2 root    root     4.0K Jan 13 13:35 egit-src

I deleted that directory and was able to emerge acpi_call with userpriv enabled.  This recreated that directory with a different owner.

drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage  4.0K Jan 13 13:37 egit-src

I then emerged acpi_call again just to make sure that the problem would not return.  This second emerge also worked fine.  I unfortunately do not know what originally created the directory with root:root owner.

Nice. Then we can close this as invalid.
