The message is misleading, but what it actually says is that it thinks |
| 33 |
you are not the superuser (i.e. the one that installed portage). The |
| 34 |
repository warning is fixed in later versions, but it feels like your |
| 35 |
EPREFIX is not taken into account, unless your portage directory there |
| 36 |
is a symlink. |
