[gentoo-user] ACCESS DENIED

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,
I wonder what I am doing wrong.
For several packages, e.g.   x11-terms/kitty-0.12.1
I get access violations like
 * ACCESS DENIED:  mkdir:        /root/.config/kitty

The cause of this is clear:  emerge is running as user/group 'portage'  
but
ls -ld  /root/.config
gives
drwx------ 15 root portage 4096 Sep 19 14:20 /root/.config

One could change the permission of this folder, but there are
several applications which use this folder.

What am I missing?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
