1 On my Raspberry Pi2 (running Gentoo of cause) I have a problem with
2 portage, or rather with emerge. When emerging something I get some error
3 messages about "shell-init:... permission denied" like this:

38 The emerge continues and installs the software OK (as far as I can see).
39 I tried to debug emerge (using --debug), but surprise surprise, just
40 before the error messages shows there is a "set +x" in the output, hence
41 I can not see which command it is that "produces" the error message and
42 I can also not see the path/file that is the culprit.
43
44 Any suggestions on how to debug this further?
