Description Maciej S. Szmigiero 2017-11-01 16:14:11 UTC 
app-admin/cgmanager is limited in functionality without CONFIG_USER_NS and CONFIG_PID_NS being set in the kernel configuration.

From cgmanager.c:
if (stat("/proc/self/ns/pid", &sb) == 0) {
        mypidns = read_pid_ns_link(getpid())
        setns_pid_supported = true;
}
if (stat("/proc/self/ns/user", &sb) == 0) {
        myuserns = read_user_ns_link(getpid());
        setns_user_supported = true;
}

And then various functionalities in the code depend on setns_pid_supported and setns_user_supported variables being true.

Please add check for these kernel config items to app-admin/cgmanager ebuild so
users know they should enable these options for full package functionality.
