or maybe have etc-update refuse to run if user isnt root ? ;) SpanKY: That's what I posted under "Expected Results". I then thought some more, and figured out what I'd like if people decided they didn't like it just failing, for some reason. Just failing on insufficient permissions seems like a logical, good, and easy solution to me! Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and delaying the next version's progress. Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;) Adding a patch. Created attachment 76588 [details, diff]
Adds a check for UID 0
This needs to be tested wrt sudo and etc-update.
