This is a new bug to me: >>> Emerging (1 of 16) dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.40 * jdk-7u40-linux-x64.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...

( IIRC, due to src_unpack now running as user instead of root under portage 2.2 ) Its never been a problem before for me, despite doing the exact same thing this time as I usually did, download, copy, install, and my previous java binaries show something of that nature. ls -lat /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk* -rw------- 1 kent kent 138021223 Sep 16 01:53 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u40-linux-x64.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 96316511 Jun 27 02:19 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u25-linux-x64.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 96272413 May 10 01:10 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 72087592 Apr 30 14:54 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 72039626 Mar 13 2013 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u43-linux-x64.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 72041996 Feb 27 2013 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u41-linux-x64.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 96146544 Feb 7 2013 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u13-linux-x64.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 72037515 Feb 7 2013 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u39-linux-x64.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 72048548 Oct 25 2012 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 72039455 Sep 15 2012 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u35-linux-x64.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 96036590 Aug 23 2012 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u6-linux-x64.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 72029394 Jul 30 2012 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u33-linux-x64.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 81439763 Jun 28 2012 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u5-linux-x64.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 85581913 Jan 24 2012 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u31-linux-x64.bin -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 81056556 Jan 24 2012 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u3-linux-x64.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 81225513 Dec 22 2011 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 85411605 Nov 3 2011 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin -rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 94972183 Oct 7 2011 /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-7u1-linux-x64.tar.gz I'm not sure why the latest isn't go+r , I haven't done anything different, maybe firefox changed here. Either way, if this is something that can't be fixed automatically, then you perhaps should mention something like that in the download notes. It was easy to fix this bug once I realised what was going wrong, I'd just rather not to have to fix it in the middle of an emerge cycle when portage bails unexpectedly, and I hope I don't have to fix this problem again ( Maybe it should be checked to be readable during the "has it been downloaded or not yet" step )

With FEATURES=userpriv, the ebuild runs as "portage" user and "portage" group. So, you may need to adjust ownership of files in some cases. Alternatively, you can remove userpriv from FEATURES: echo 'FEATURES="${FEATURES} -userpriv -usersandbox"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 477664 ***
