After emerging app-crypt/gkeys-gen-0.1-r1, /var/log/gkeys/ is owned by root. Running gkeys-gen as a normal user raises an exception because the application cannot write the logfile. Reproducible: Always
Please post the ls -l listing for /var/log/gkeys The ebuild already does : keepdir /var/log/gkeys fperms g+w /var/log/gkeys

That is likely the issue - I do have 775 group users permissions on the log dir, but a newly-created user (useradd -m) is not able to write to the directory.
app-crypt/gkeys is last rited now.
