some items in the tree owned by root

[potuz]

I ran into some permission problems performing emerge --sync and realized that

Code: Select all

ls -lh /usr/portage/x11-themes
.....
-rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage  23K Oct 18 09:09 Manifest.gz
....
drwxr-xr-x 2 root    root    4.0K Sep  3 11:23 numix-gtk-theme
drwxr-xr-x 2 root    root    4.0K Sep  3 11:23 numix-icon-theme
drwxr-xr-x 2 root    root    4.0K Sep  3 11:23 numix-icon-theme-circle
....

are owned by root, I do not know what could have caused this.

Here similar case, maybe on a larger scale:

Code: Select all

ls /usr/portage -la -d
drwxr-xr-x 173 root root 4096 oct.  20 01:48 /usr/portage

Code: Select all

ls /usr/portage/distfiles  -la -d
drwxrwxr-x 4 root portage 36864 oct.  20 03:34 /usr/portage/distfiles

All other files in /etc/portage are root:root owned.

Code: Select all

FEATURES="usersync"

How 2 fix?
Should it be enough to:

Code: Select all

chown -R portage:portage /usr/portage

And another emerge --sync to check ?

Thks 4 ur attention.

That's all I did and I didn't find any trouble so far.
