Similar to https://bugs.gentoo.org/661834 If /var/db/repos/gentoo doesn't exist, running FEATURES='usersync' emerge-webrsync creates /var/db/repos/gentoo owned by "root:root" and every subdirectory and file underneath it is owned by the same. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set FEATURES='usersync' 2. run "emerge-webrsync" 3. Actual Results: /var/db/repos/gentoo and everything underneath it owned by root:root Expected Results: /var/db/repos/gentoo owned by portage:portage
Created attachment 611158 [details] emerge --info sys-apps/portage
Created attachment 905994 [details] emerge --info and emerge-webrsync I can reproduce this behaviour with =sys-apps/portage-3.0.65-r1.
While we should look at fixing this, I do worry about making emerge-webrsync even more complex (see the commentary in bug 905356).
A lot of people could be easily helped with stage3 tarballs shipping with an empty "/var/db/repos/gentoo" owned by portage:portage. People not covered are those who have "/var/db/repos/gentoo" as a mountpoint, but I expect them to take the necessary measures.
