The same is with sys-apps/coreutils-5.2.1-r5, and following the suggestion of setting a variable makes two tests to fail. The failing test is 'posix-H' while 'id -nG' deals with 'no-x' test (now it fails too, without FETISH_GROUPS it was skipped). Anyway, why it says that 'id -nG' fails or returns no groups?

I suppose that the ebuild environment (sandbox?) is doing something wrong. I tried to emerge coreutils with these variables: export FETISH_GROUPS='floppy video' export VERBOSE=yes Part of the test included below. ------------------------------- + mkdir 1 2 3 + touch 1/1F 2/2F 3/3F + ln -s 1 1s + ln -s ../3 2/2s + chgrp -R floppy 1 2 3 + test 0 = 1 + fail=0 + chgrp -HR video 1s 2 + changed= 1 1/1F 2 2/2s 2/2F ++ ls -dg 1 + set _ drwxr-xr-x 2 floppy 4096 Apr 2 18:47 1 + shift + group=floppy + test floppy = video + fail=1 ---------------- Later, I emerged coreutils with FEATURES=-maketest and by hand I tested the chgrp -H functionality (this is the posix-H test) and it worked correctly. ls -dg 1 gave me group 'video', not 'floppy' as it was in the make test. From emerge: + set _ drwxr-xr-x 2 floppy 4096 Apr 2 18:47 1 From hand-made test: cthulhu tmp # ls -dg 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 video 4096 kwi 2 21:24 1
Same problem here with coreutils-5.2.1-r6.

Maybe this is helpful, don't know if it's related, a few lines before the error (during "Making check in tests"), this show up: *********************************************************** NOTICE: Some tests may be run only as root. Do `make check-root' as `root' to run these tests. ***********************************************************
i think the newest version of sandbox fixes this
