Description Lennart Brinkmann 2015-12-28 11:03:26 UTC

Installing dev-python/six-1.10.0 with an alternative package manager like paludis fails with an permission error.

In pkg_setup() the python_foreach_impl function creates working directories und files required for the build, eg. python2.7.
This phase is run with root privileges (according to https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/pkg_setup/index.html), so these are owned by root.

The src_compile phase is runing as the builduser (https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/functions/src_compile/index.html) and thus can't create files in those directories, see attached log.

This bug was not present in 1.9.0-r1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use paludis as the package manager
2. cave resolve -1xz dev-python/six
Actual Results:  
dev-python/six installation fails with an permission error, see attached log.

Expected Results:  
dev-python/six is installed successfully.

    Running python_foreach_impl from pkg_setup causes more problems
    than it is worth.
