Description Leon Schoorl 2012-06-18 09:57:02 UTC

When emerging dev-vcs/git-1.7.3.4-r1 with FEATURES="sandbox -userpriv test" (== the default, except for test) 
it fails test 46 in t7508-status.sh

All tests succeed when using FEATURES= "-sandbox", "userpriv" or even "userpriv usersandbox"

Test 46 in t7508-status.sh normally shouldn't run when testing as root, but the testscript gets confused by the gentoo sandbox.

On the last line of git-1.7.3.4/t/test-lib.sh it tries to find out if its running as root with:
test -w /
But that gets blocked by the sandbox, so the testscript believes it is not running as root.


Reproducible: Always
