I have portage-2.1.9.42 on an x86_64 system. emerge -NuDav world wants to update portage to 2.1.10.3 It fails with "permission denied" errors. Naturally I've done "su -" first. My sys-apps/coreutils is version 8.7 if that matters, no update required.
Created attachment 278911 [details] build.log
ps. how do I submit a log file here so that it doesn't have those color tags?
This problem is reproducible and I do not suspect any hardware problems. Other programs compile fine.
Can you please provide the output of emerge --info Compiled fine here today.

(In reply to comment #2) > ps. how do I submit a log file here so that it doesn't have those color tags? Use the emerge --color=n option, or you can try using sed: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/3584/remove-color-codes-special-characters-with-sed
Ah, thank you!
