Re: [gentoo-science] help with pari testsuite

[François Bissey]

Changing the directory to something else didn’t help (that would have been
even more strange).

Something that may be of interest to the problem is the list of “features”
that I have enabled in portage
FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-docompress binpkg-dostrip binpkg-logs candy clean-logs compressdebug config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fakeroot fixlafiles ipc-sandbox merge-sync multilib-strict network-sandbox news parallel-fetch pid-sandbox preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms sign split-log splitdebug strict strict-keepdir unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync xattr”
