3.2.1-r5 passes tests just fine, 3.2.2 fails as detailed below. I am not sure this is libarchive's fault, really; hence, the Portage people are on CC. It looks like whatever is cleaning up the temp dir is constructing paths that are too long for Python's unlink() to handle, but that is mostly conjecture on my part.

0072_xxx is the one portage chokes on, but the other numbered dirs also have a ton of xxxxxxxxxx dirs in them.
It seems that portage can be fixed to handle this by making the apply_recursive_permissions function use os.fwalk and similar functions that use file descriptors instead of paths. I've tested with python-3.5.2, and os.fwalk successfully traversed all of /var/tmp/portage/app-arch/libarchive-3.2.2/temp. It worked with a string argument, but failed with a bytes argument as reported in http://bugs.python.org/issue28682: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python3.5/os.py", line 519, in fwalk yield from _fwalk(topfd, top, topdown, onerror, follow_symlinks) File "/usr/lib64/python3.5/os.py", line 562, in _fwalk dirpath = path.join(toppath, name) File "/usr/lib64/python3.5/posixpath.py", line 89, in join genericpath._check_arg_types('join', a, *p) File "/usr/lib64/python3.5/genericpath.py", line 145, in _check_arg_types raise TypeError("Can't mix strings and bytes in path components") from None TypeError: Can't mix strings and bytes in path components If we can't use a byte's argument, then we're screwed if any of the paths aren't encoded with UTF-8.
I've filed bug 600626 to track the portage issue.
As a workaround, the ebuild could do something like this near the end of src_test: rm -rf "${T}"/libarchive_test*
(In reply to Zac Medico from comment #4) > As a workaround, the ebuild could do something like this near the end of > src_test: > > rm -rf "${T}"/libarchive_test* It doesn't work for me. It fails with a number of "Directory not empty" errors, but it succeeds if I re-run the command afterwards.

It works if use FEATURES="-sandbox -usersandbox", so apparently there's interference from sandbox.
The tests actually cleanup "${T}"/libarchive_test* themselves when sandbox is disabled. So we can consider the root cause to be interference from sandbox (neglecting the fact that it's totally insane to create paths this long).
most likely would be covered by bug 553092
