I just successfully updated world.  In order to make room in my root, I
subsequently moved /var/tmp/portage to a mounted usb stick and symlinked
it to /var/tmp.

/var/cache/{binpkgs,distfiles} are already successfully located on that
device, over symlinks.

Now, when I try to emerge pavucontrol, all 10 required packages fail,
with a failure in the unpack phase of ebuild.

My mounted storage is:

 /dev/sdb2 on /lcl/USB_SanDisk_3.2Gen1_0901709d...ad012f/2 type ext4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime)

I also have such error messages:

/usr/bin/install: cannot create directory "/var/tmp/portage": Permission
denied
 * ERROR: app-text/iso-codes-4.17.0::gentoo failed (unpack phase):

Apparently, the unpack phase wants to create /var/tmp/portage, and if it
already exists, it failes?
