When merging packages with (fetch restriction and?) userpriv It does not ensure the distfiles are readable by the portage user which results in many ebuilds having checks for it in src_unpack Would be better if portage handled it correctly
Portage 2.0.53_rc7
We rewrote the distdir permissions checking, can you reproduce this problem with latest 2.1?
I looks like it's still an issue. I'll make a patch to adjust the permissions inside portage.fetch().
This is fixed in svn r3417.

This has been released in 2.1_rc3.
