[gentoo-user] Using Gentoo binary packages

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

Can someone please tell me what the official cure is for the error "unsafe 
permissions on homedir '/etc/portage/gnupg' ? I even get it if I remove that 
directory altogether and then run 'getuto' .

If getuto can't create the directory with safe permissions, what chance do I 
have?

Peter.

GnuPG is incorrect, and the permissions aren't unsafe.

It is claiming they are unsafe because users other than root can see the
pubkeys in read-only mode.
