Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev

That directory should have a "chmod g+s" to allow users of group "portage" to mark news as read. Otherwise this appears :

touch: cannot touch `/var/lib/gentoo/news/news-gentoo.read': Permission denied
!!! Error: Couldn't touch read file for 2009-07-02-kdeprefix+monolithics::gentoo
Killed


Reproducible: Always

Is this still an issue with "eselect news-tng" of eselect-1.1*?

NO, AFAICS hgtis works now flawlessly :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ eselect news unread 2009-04-18-java-config-wrapper-0.16
tfoerste@n22 ~ $ eselect news read 2009-04-18-java-config-wrapper-0.16
