Apparently the rights on the .pc file are not correct. Please use chmod to make the file world readable.
The dir rights are broken, but it's fine here, so i don't know how this could happen. startup-notification giving problems is a symptom, but probably unrelated. i bet there are way more .pc files available.
Ooh, sure, foser you are right - I didn't realize back then that this was _the_ pkgconfig directory. :-o So you're probably right, that startup-notification is not really directly related. ;-) I changed this bug's subject accordingly. Sure I can change the directory's permissions back manually (I did) and as long as I don't use privsep I won't have problems either. Question remains what (which ebuild?) made the permissions change...quite strange.
Hhmm. I'll feel so free to mark this resolved/WORKSFORME as it was easy to fix/workaround, I don't see how this could possibly happen, also seems it just happened to me and probably this whole thing can't be easily reproduced... ;-) *never mind*
