Something like ebuild  /usr/local/portage/net-p2p/freenet/freenet-0.7.1050.ebuild digest works
ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-p2p/freenet-bin/freenet-bin-0.7.1050.ebuild digest fails with 
/usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild.sh: line 1535: /usr/local/portage/net-p2p/freenet-bin/freenet-bin-0.7.1050.ebuild: Permission denied
The permissions for the folder and files are in both cases the same.
With stable portage (2.1.2.11) there is no such error.
And i only have this problem on ~amd64, on ~x86 it seems to work with portage-2.1.3.3

Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 127121 [details, diff]
only drop privileges when FEATURES=userpriv is enabled

It seems like you have some restrictive permissions on ${PORTDIR}. If you save this patch as /tmp/userpriv.patch then you can apply it like this:

patch /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py < /tmp/userpriv.patch

I dont know why but after using stable portage and going back to unstable portage i cannot reproduce this error any more.
Now i am only able to get it if i manually chmod 750 the folder and in this case the patch does help.
Sorry for the noise.
