how is this an issue? the user isn't in the portage group and doesn't have access to files owned by the portage group...nothing odd here. There is even a warning telling you why you get the error and how to correct it. Certainly, there's a warning, but it means that non-portage users can't easily check what is involved in installing a new piece of software, or find the dependencies that are needed for a package (whereas before they were able to do so). Oh well, feel free to mark it closed if you like, doesn't really affect me on my single-user machine, just seemed like it would be something people on multi-user machines would want. If they are non portage users, what does it really matter to them. The information is mostly useful to those wanting to install packages via portage, which they need the permissions for anyways. |
