I'm not able to reproduce this, and when trying I noticed that the key refresh runs as root (we should think about dropping privileges here).
sync: link "/usr/portage/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine/xfce-extra/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin-2.2.1.ebuild" => /usr/portage/xfce-extra/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin-2.2.1.ebuild failed: Operation not permitted (1) Naturally when i get these types of messages sync fails,this is the 2nd day in succession this has happened. Portage-2.3.42-r1. noted that portage is updating as this is being entered to 2.3.43. Be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
