I have a custom PORTDIR in my /etc/make.conf. # g-ctan -u l3kernel * Updating ebuild for g-ctan/l3kernel ... * You have insufficient permissions to access /usr/portage/distfiles or it does not exist. * Please create it or check the permissions, some path definitions can be altered * through the /etc/g-ctan/g-ctan.conf file. * This program should be run as root in most environments. Indeed /usr/portage/distfiles doesn't exist. However a symlink to the correct location solves the problem... It looks like g-ctan doesn't take into account the PORTDIR variable; if that's not possible, a specific configuration option should be provided. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a non-standard PORTDIR in /etc/make.conf 2. run 'g-ctan -u' Actual Results: g-ctan doesn't found the portage directory. Expected Results: g-ctan looks into PORTDIR to get the portage directory.
Please provide the installed version of g-ctan by commenting `emerge -pv g-ctan`, thanks.
