Description AlterEgo 2002-07-01 15:56:45 UTC

Emerge GOCR fails reproducably (3 different systems; gcc unrelated; ebuild 
0.3.4 and 0.3.6 and 0.3.6-r1):  
I suspect user right are incorrectly difined for the directories below:  
  
>>> Install gocr-0.3.6-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/gocr-0.3.6-r1/image/ category

the -r2 ebuild fixes this.  please emerge unmerge gocr then emerge gocr.

Comment 2 AlterEgo 2002-07-07 06:03:17 UTC

Tested the -r2 ebuild, and got the exact same error message again. The strange thing is the ownership of all directories in /usr/share/texmf/fonts . bash-2.05a$ ls -l total 5 drwxr-xr-x    8 501      501           200 Jul  7 12:42 afm drwxr-xr-x    3 501      501            72 Jul  7 12:42 ofm drwxr-xr-x    3 501      501            72 Jul  7 12:42 ovf drwxr-xr-x    3 501      501            72 Jul  7 12:42 ovp drwxr-xr-x    3 501      501            72 Jul  7 12:42 pfm drwxr-xr-x    7 501      501           168 Jul  7 12:42 source drwxr-xr-x   12 501      501           296 Jul  7 12:42 tfm drwxr-xr-x    8 501      501           200 Jul  7 12:42 type1 drwxr-xr-x    9 501      501           216 Jul  7 12:42 vf bash-2.05a$  The "501" is causing the problem IMHO. I can create a directory /usr/share/texmf/fonts/pk with "501" ownership by hand, and the script will; progress a bit further. But I couldn't complete the ebuild by making all directories by hand.

Comment 3 Ph. Bobo 2002-07-15 10:16:52 UTC

I have exactly same problem (and also with other packages where emerge can't 
create (open_wr) or update files in directories) -> PERMISSION DENYED
despite that I use emerge in root.

I believe the problem may be related to TeX's default font permissions.  Try
using "texconfig fonts rw" to fix it.  This should be in the ebuild -- I'll look
into it.
