x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.1.3_p20200220-r1 fails to build because xdg-icon-resource.xml cannot read /root/.lynx/lynx.cfg. Root's directory is normally not read/write-able by anyone else. The problem is solved by making root's directory world read/write which I do not believe should be necessary. Reproducible: Always Root uses lynx to read HTML encoded emails via nmh. Its home directory is normally not world read/write-able.

Created attachment 669965 [details] build.log
I ran into a similar issue while updating to x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.1.3_p20210805 . Same error (Configuration file "/root/.config/lynx" is not available.). Something in the original build files must try to open lynx. I happen to have it installed and have the environment variable LYNX_CFG set to "/root/.config/lynx". If I do "unset LYNX_CFG" prior to building, the build will work fine.
Looking a bit at the build file that triggers the error (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/-/blob/master/scripts/Makefile.in#L114), the xmlto command is used to convert docbook files to text files (/usr/bin/xmlto --skip-validation txt desc/xdg-desktop-icon.xml) The txt formatter seems to rely on a browser at some point to perform conversions, lynx being one of the possible alternatives: https://pagure.io/xmlto/blob/master/f/format/docbook/txt#_7 . Judging by Gentoo's ebuild, no specific browser is enforced from a dependency standpoint (https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-text/xmlto/xmlto-0.0.28-r8.ebuild#n22) - it can be: * w3m * elinks * links * lynx All of which could, in theory, refer to configuration files that are not readable from the ebuild sandbox. From my past comment, unsetting the LYNX_CFG environment variable during the build should fix the bug for lynx users. It would be interesting to see if the other browsers listed above could also be configured in a way that make the ebuild crash due to xmlto using it.
