My home is 700, I have XDG_CONFIG_HOME set to my home which is kept by suing to build gtk. $ echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME /home/alexis/.config It's set by /usr/bin/startlxde it seems. I'm not familiar enough with XDG_* stuff but this probably affects other packages. TEST: object...

So the story here is that startlxde is setting and exporting XDG_CONFIG_HOME for him, and that's why most of us haven't seen this. It sets it to the default of $HOME/.config if previously unset, to later use the variable once in figuring out some paths - it could instead use ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config} or some such in that place. Anyhow, users are allowed to change their config directory per the spec, and FEATURES="userpriv test" portage installs shouldn't be affected by that. With all that it would actually still work, but alexis has his $HOME permission 700, so the user for FEATURES=userpriv gets an unexpected permission denied error probably. That said, ebuilds still have no business reading stuff from regular user dirs. Some eclasses already deal with this kind of situation, namely kde and qt ones, but differently from eachother. grep eclass/* for XDG to see them. So the point is that we need to fully figure out what XDG vars we need to unset or set to something, and then apply it all around, gnome2.eclass, gtk+ (it doesn't inherit gnome2), and more. Pretty much all fdo related stuff, might actually be worth looking into getting this more into the core of things, like to ebuild.sh of portage in an EAPI. Hence this bug to track these thoughts. Independently of discussing about that, we can temporarily apply a temporary fix for gtk+, as that actually exhibits test failures in some situations, while the global fixing is preventative and slight privacy matter instead.
imho this only needs work in fdo kind of eclass, exporting a function that would set the environment for the portage user in the same way that is described on the upstream webpage to load all these XDG_* vars in a shell. Then kde/qt should be fixed to use that as well.

Sadly, it's still valid :-(
Created attachment 254871 [details] build.log
Have tried to set XDG_DATA_HOME="${T}" without success, not sure how to solve this :-/
Updated src_test in 2.22.1-r1, please test when you get the occasion.
erm silly me, I might have set the wrong variable according to comment #0 should give a shot at XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Created attachment 259803 [details] build.log It sill fails with XDG_DATA_ or XDG_CONFIG_, maybe I could report this to upstream to know why that variables are not honored, or, doesn't this test fail when run manually and not allowed to write in /root/?
I'd rather have a check at the code path. That's where I got the variables from in the beginning, it is strange that you are still having this problem, maybe I missed something but since I cannot reproduce I'd really like it if you could analyze a bit further.

I am lost here. I have emerged gtk+ with the following steps: 1. Login in my gnome session. 2. Open a terminal and become root using "su -" 3. Run emerge -O1 gtk+ But I think it also failed when running from console. I have also tried to compile and run tests manually inside "sandbox" and they fail the same way trying to write at my home, then, it looks to be reading home variable from somewhere but I don't know

ok this is actually a lot trickier than what I thought. I changed my root homedir to /root/temp to make sure my root homedir would not get polluted by random packages and it is actually filling up quite a bit since I did this change without ever logging in as root. Anyway, gtk+ actually uses glib to determine home through g_get_home_dir which is using multiple validations to get the real home of the user executing the program. It looks at an env variable but if it is in contradiction with the uid of the executing user, it falls back to using the home of the executing user. This is also why sandbox fails to catch this, it has a ${HOME}/.recently-used* entry but here $HOME is different than the home determined by glib. I think the only reasonable solution here is indeed to disable the check and we are going to need to do the same for pygtk.
I reported some time ago this issue to upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639832

Thanks a lot! Should a similar approach be applied to pygtk? (bug #245103)
Tests now pass. Many thanks.
