This is the correct workaround. The problem goes away any time I've |
| 37 |
experienced it by making sure my non-root user is member of the portage |
| 38 |
user group, and verifying permissions on DISTDIR (typically |
| 39 |
/usr/portage/distfiles) - the most I've ever had to do was re-log or |
| 40 |
reboot after checking those settings. |

Good luck |
