emerge gnome-base/gnome-keyring fails after complile and installing the image with sandbox access violation on write to /root/.gconf/.testing.writeability

>>> Completed installing gnome-keyring-2.22.3-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/gnome-keyring-2.22.3-r1/image/

--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------
LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-23342.log"

open_wr:   /root/.gconf/.testing.writeability
unlink:    /root/.gconf/.testing.writeability
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Reproducible: Always




This is an error that often appears with packages somehow related to gconf. It is always a write access to /root/.gconf.
The following patch solved the problem for me.

please provide emerge --info and build.log if you want to reopen this.
