The portage group for news items is mandated by GLEP 42, so this cannot be changed in eselect. I could add an "enewgroup portage" to pkg_setup. But I thought baselayout-prefix would take care of this already?

Not all gentoo-prefix users are installing it using root permission :-(
Sorry eselect team. I triaged this bug poorly. yegle, installs fine for me. Even the fowners code does this: # PREFIX LOCAL: ignore otherwise failing call if hasq prefix ${USE} && [[ $EUID != 0 ]] ; then ewarn "fowners ignored in Prefix with non-privileged user" exit 0 fi # END PREFIX LOCAL So, you have some explaining to do because otherwise this is an invalid bug.

Hi Jeremy, Here's what happened: I installed Gentoo-prefix on computer A, then copied the whole $EPREFIX directory to computer B. This is what happened when I updating packages using root user on computer B.
Don't do that. There is no support for "moving" a prefix and many things will break.
