Bug 74155 – emerge gfax fails with permission denied error

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Perry Lu 2004-12-11 19:01:00 UTC]

emerge gfax fails with error saying:
"ACCESS DENIED  open_wr:   /root/.wapi/shared_data-pleiades-3-0"
even after I've chmod permissions of /root, .wapi, and shared_data-pleiades-3-0 to 777.

it complained about unable to mkdir /root/.wapi on my first try too, but that was fixed after I manually created .wapi. I tried to "touch shared_data-pleiades-3-0" to fix the second error, apparently it didn't work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gfax

Actual Results:  
here's the emerge log:
