I can't say the problem is related to xattrs, but when posting an error with a message like this you need to demonstrate, for example, that the /tmp directory exists and that you can write to it. |

I mean, it's pretty obvious that you'd get this error if the directory wasn't writable, right? |

So posting here you need to *show* it's writable. |

So please post the output of: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
ls -ld /tmp/ |
| 16 |
ls -l /tmp/ |
| 17 |
touch /tmp/foobar123 |
| 18 |
chmod 777 /tmp/foobar123 |
| 19 |
ls -l /tmp/foobar123 |
| 20 |
rm -v /tmp/foobar123 |
| 21 |

I would also try testing whether you can sync using the `emerge --sync` command, instead. |

|
| 24 |
I would guess that you're escalating to root permissions when using emerge and that the eix user has insufficient write permissions for some reason. |

No offence, mate, but a Gentoo user shouldn't need to be told this. You surely have a couple of years of Linux experience, so you know how to create and list a file; even if you don't know the `chmod` command, you must know what permissions are and that they sometimes prevent an unprivileged user from doing stuff. Aren't you even curious to know if the /tmp directory exists? Page 1 of "How to Ask Questions The Smart Way" says to tell us what you've done to investigate the problem so far. I can't promise that the steps I've suggested will help identify or fix the problem, but they definitely need doing to show the filesystem exists and doesn't have a write-protect switch accidentally flipped - failure to provide this information implies you're sitting helplessly at home waiting for us to tell you all the answers, even the basics. |
