Ok, I've discovered a combination of things that will reproduce that message,
and it REALLY does come down to NOT HAVING '.' IN YOUR PATH, especially for
user root.
If I don't have '.' in my path, I can "cd" to any directory and Ruby will not
complain when I run the system() command (or the equivilent using backticks).
If I put '.' in my path and "cd" to any world-writable directory (and /tmp
is one of those and needs to be), I get the warning ("...world writable dir <directory>/. "
My guess is 1) you have '.' in your path, and 2) you're running portupgrade after you've
"cd"'d to /tmp...
