Emerge sync ends up failing. It's weird, like my directory permissions are broken: ># cd /usr/portage/x11-apps/xdriinfo/ ># ls >ChangeLog Manifest files metadata.xml xdriinfo-0.99.0_pre20050908.ebuild ># ls -la >ls: Manifest: Permission denied >ls: files: Permission denied >ls: xdriinfo-0.99.0_pre20050908.ebuild: Permission denied >ls: ChangeLog: Permission denied >ls: metadata.xml: Permission denied >total 2 >drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 216 Oct 19 18:36 . >drwxr-xr-x 95 root root 2448 Oct 23 08:06 .. ># ls files >ls: files: Permission denied ># chmod 777 files >chmod: cannot access `files': Permission denied ># What do you make of this?
