While updating gnome-base/eel from 2.10.0 to 2.10.1, I received the following error during the test phase: >>> Test phase [enabled]: gnome-base/eel-2.10.1 >>> Test phase [check]: gnome-base/eel-2.10.1 Making check in eel make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/eel-2.10.1/work/eel-2.10.1/eel' make check-TESTS make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/eel-2.10.1/work/eel-2.10.1/eel' Could not set mode 0700 on private per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2_private/': Permission denied FAIL: check-eel =================== 1 of 1 tests failed =================== make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/eel-2.10.1/work/eel-2.10.1/eel' make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/eel-2.10.1/work/eel-2.10.1/eel' make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 I don't think any of my `emerge --info` info is relevant; let me know if I'm wrong.

Reopen.
Updating title wrt to duplicates in reply to comment #3, I think the current resolution in gnome herd is to not hide potential bugs but fix them upstream. We don't always necessary time to fix test though. @dang, anything to add ?
Anyone is, of course, free to fix tests. But we don't have a policy of fixing them, because we just wouldn't have time. If bugs get patches, we'll definitely apply them and push them upstream.
Okay, tests now pass on 2.18.0.1.
