An esync and emerge resulted in 62 out of 113 packages failing emerge with errors about no write access to /etc/passwd and /etc/group. This is a dual opteron system, ~amd64, with both kernels 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 and 2.6.23-gentoo-r1. This particular esync began fine, 113 packages to build. The last package to build before the first failure was glib-2.7. The system seems to be running fine; I have rebooted, logged in, etc. Is this some glib 2.7 feature? Should I just keep running and wait for glib-2.7-r1?
