Accessible really means accessible, i.e. when you are able to chdir to |
| 44 |
it and see its contents. |
| 45 |
Apparently, the dir lacks "group read" permission, i.e. it should be |
| 46 |
drwxr-x--- |
| 47 |
the `execute` bit alone doesn't allow one to access the directory. |
| 48 |
That is probably a portage bug or sort of. |

Actually I didn't even look there. Yes, everything is the same. |
