I'm afraid this is an issue limited to your installation or we would have had tons of bug reports already.
Is there anything particular in your setup that is not represented in emerge --info ?

Nothing peculiar, aside gentoo packages are built with the portage user.

It is declared,
portage:x:250:250:portage:/usr/portage:/bin/false

/usr/portage is portage home directory as expected. If addwrite /root/.gnome2 is needed when a package is compiled with the user root it seems quite logic to care about /usr/portage when using the user portage. 

I didn't have that issue before and the make.conf file didn't changed till now.
gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.30 has compiled well. Also version 2.32 is still masked.

Here are the overlays I use,

I seed differences between a shell /bin/bash and /bin/false for portage user but nothing relevant.
The shell was in interactive mode.

Gnome 2.32 was fully stabilized on amd64, could you retry on an updated system? If still failing, I would try to stop building packages as "portage" with that HOME and use defaults instead to confirm if it's the real problem

I don't use portage directly but through usersandbox feature.

without  usersandbox it works as expected, but without feature usersandbox activated emerge fails.

typo

without  usersandbox it works as expected.
With usersandbox feature emerge fails.

Well, the default home directory for the portage user is supposed to be /var/tmp/portage, so that explains the difference. In ebuild.sh, portage explicitly calls addwrite "${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}", so users with default settings won't experience this bug.
Comment 18 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2011-03-14 21:46:16 UTC
After seeing bug #128289, comment #22, I looked up the relevant gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.24.4 code in libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-init.c:

  dirname = g_build_filename (g_get_home_dir (), ".gnome2", NULL);

Then I looked up that g_get_home_dir function:

  http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html#g-get-home-dir

The documentation suggests a usage like this:

  const char *homedir = g_getenv ("HOME");
   if (!homedir)
      homedir = g_get_home_dir ();

So, it seems like gnome-vfs might be slightly misusing the function, since it fails to check the HOME environment variable before falling back to the g_get_home_dir function.
Comment 19 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-03-15 11:28:38 UTC
gnome-vfs is patched with http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/gnome-base/gnome-vfs/files/gnome-vfs-2.24.4-home_dir_fakeroot.patch?view=markup.

Note that g_get_homedir function is ignoring $HOME on purpose. It caused us some headaches already with gtk+ and pygtk testsuite. portage default home dir should really be left to default if it has been altered by the user as it seems to be the case here.

I would close this bug as invalid then.

PORTDIR _IS_ the default as stated in make.conf manual and in /etc/passwd file: /usr/portage. I didn't modify it.
It is PORTDIR_OVERLAY that has been changed and 
PORTDIR_OVERLAY='' emerge -av =gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.32.0
fails too.

I assume usersandbox has set it to /usr/portage.

Have I missed something ?

I have it... I guess

emerge -av =gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.32. = no go

emerge -d -av =gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.32 = ok <--- surprising !

/usr/portage/.gnome2 has been created !!

emerge -C =gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.32
emerge -av =gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.32 = ok

and
rm /usr/portage/.gnome2
emerge -av =gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.32. = fails again

A missing /usr/portage/.gnome2 makes the lot fail

Also emerge in debug mode does create /usr/portage/.gnome2 but not emerge in default mode.

Parallel universe? I don't see any reference to that in make.conf docs, and all the default /etc/passwd files that I've seen refer to /var/tmp/portage rather than /usr/portage.

I'd guess that it would be lot cleaner to make those testsuites work with the current $HOME setting. Shrug :)

> I would close this bug as invalid then.

Barring use of $HOME, it would be safer to do a real query of /etc/passwd rather than hardcode /root/.gnome2 in the eclass. For example, you could query it with python like this:

python -c 'import os, sys, pwd ; sys.stdout.write(pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid()).pw_dir)'

I'm certainly in the twilight zone :)

man make.conf

      PORTDIR = [path]
          Defines  the  location  of  the Portage tree. This is the
          repository for all profile information  as  well  as  all
          ebuilds.  If  you  change  this,  you  must  update  your
          /etc/make.profile symlink accordingly.
          Defaults to /usr/portage.
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sorry I missed this one. I have changed it for a while because of the PORDIR default statement I read in the man page.

As for security concerns, /var/tmp/portage alias $PORTAGE_TMPDIR doesn't always exist in a system. /var/tmp is often declared as a tmpfs filesystem.

Also pwck complains if $HOME is declared in /etc/passwd but does not exist.

That would be great thanks ZacM :)

As I understand it, this can also be done in pure bash like

addwrite "$(unset HOME; echo ~)/.gnome2"

I encountered a similar problem when using a new default /etc/gconf/gconf.local.xml.defaults directory for gnome. If I remember well , it was orca that refuse to emerge.
As a workaround I added it in /etc/sandbox.d/99local and sandbox stopped complaining about it.

Could be easier to add ~/.gnome2 as well?

Maybe using this debian patch for glib:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/glib2.0/2.28.6-2/04_homedir_env.patch

and setting G_HOME properly could solve this issue

Meanwhile, I've just added this trick to gnome2.eclass since it seems to work and it shouldn't hurt:

But, if we are all ok with current change in eclass, we can probably leave this as-is (if it works) as I am unsure about debian patch from comment #26 is much better :-/

Will close this bug next week if nobody disagrees since current workaround looks to be less complicated than debian one and looks like no fix is available

Creating spurious files outside of the build environment is not a good solution. That undermines the whole purpose of the sandbox.

glib-2.30.1-r1 includes this (as Gilles was ok with applying it per a past conversation with him)
Comment 32 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-17 07:45:17 UTC
Thanks Pacho. I think it's ok to backport this to older releases too if we do a stabilization pass before gnome 3.2 so we can start using this variable in eclass.
Comment 33 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2011-10-17 09:47:15 UTC
My plan was to modify eclass for using G_HOME when glib-2.30.1-r1 or newer is installed and old addwrite way for older. As glib-2.30.1-r1 could go to stable "soon" (well, looks to work ok with Gnome2... but will wait until tinderbox run to fix broken packages due deprecations)

The problem for backporting it is that I wouldn't really check if patch works with older glib versions (I mean, I would still run glib-2.30 here on my box), and allowing the "compat way" in eclass will also help people upgrading from older systems if they have older glib versions than those currently available in the tree
Comment 34 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2011-11-22 00:18:48 UTC
gnome2.eclass is already fixing env to proper values, but you will need at least glib-2.30.1-r1
