Whenever i try to emerge KDE-META-4.1.2-r1, everything goes fine until the process suddenly dies with the following epitaph:

ACCESS DENIED* chmod:**** /usr/share/config
chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/share/config': Permission denied


First i thought it was a portage bug so i did an emerge --sync and found out that there was an update available, nevertheless, the problem was not fixed.

Some more output:

Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries

Since the emerge was not completed i do not dare to deal with the preserved libraries


As usual, thanks in advance

You are running emerge in a sandbox and the ebuild is trying to chmod a
directory with these permissions:

$ ls -ald /usr/share/config
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 208 Oct 23 15:39 /usr/share/config

which of course will never work. This is a bug, so report it at bgo unless
someone else has already done so.

You are running emerge in a sandbox and the ebuild is trying to chmod a

directory with these permissions:



*$ ls -ald /usr/share/config

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 208 Oct 23 15:39 /usr/share/config



which of course will never work. This is a bug, so report it at bgo unless
