Hi, Preferring to install/upgrade as a normal user w/ sudo, it is, probably not a real bug, but annoying, that portupgrade fails on *some* ports mysteriously like this: .. ! shells/bash (bash-4.0.24) (Permission denied - /.amd_mnt/kaa/ host/home/hv) .. As you see, my Homedir ist automounted via NFS. If i change beforehand to a local writable directory (like /tmp) the same command succeeds (with an also annoying warnig: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/pkgtools.rb:1148: warning: Insecure world writable dir /tmp/. in PATH, mode 041777 Why not allow installing with sudo, even if located on a remote Homedir ? If root (who is nobody on the remote filesystem and therefore no allowed to access it (permissions 700) wants to put some temporary status info, why not implicitly put it into some local dir (eg. root's home) ?
