When I have userpriv and usersandbox in FEATURES in make.conf I get the following error messages as soon as I emerge winex-cvs: # emerge /usr/portage/app-emulation/winex-cvs/winex-cvs-3.0_pre1.ebuild Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-emulation/winex-cvs-3.0_pre1 to / >>> Unpacking source... chown: changing ownership of `/var/tmp/portage/winex-cvs-3.0_pre1/temp/cvspass': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `//usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/winex-3-0-pre-1/wine/': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `//usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/winex-3-0-pre-1/wine//CVS': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `//usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/winex-3-0-pre-1/wine//CVS/Root': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `//usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/winex-3-0-pre-1/wine//CVS/Repository': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `//usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/winex-3-0-pre-1/wine//CVS/Entries': Operation not permitted * Running cvs -q -f -z4 update -dP -rwinex-3-0-pre-1 with cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex for wine/... The errors don't appear when I remove the userpriv and usersandbox FEATURES. The same errors appear when trying to emerge other cvs packages as well so I'm guessing it is a portage problem.
