I assume chmod (system call) checks the file permission before a change |
| 30 |
occurs. The permission denyed is a permission denyed for changing ownership |
| 31 |
as the portage user. |

Symbolic links can exist without their target existing. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Permissions and ownership on symbolic links is ignored by most application |
| 43 |
unless a specific attempt is made to check them. Accessing a symlink pointing |
| 44 |
to a file uses the permissions on the file rather than the symlink. |

I hope this answers your question |
