Description Thomas Buntrock 2004-11-09 05:27:15 UTC

I recently switched the profile as mentioned by portage.
I am using gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre8-r1

There is a a deactivasted section in /usr/bin/euse, defining the path to the use.desc When I uncomment that, it does work again. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. euse -i
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
EUSE exiting with following errors: 
requires read permissions for /etc/make.profile/../use.desc. 
requires read permissions for /etc/make.profile/../use.local.desc.
