Problem ego sync

[blackdon]

I found a problem in the new version of the system with the gnome, I already tested the previous version and it worked, this new version presents a problem in the chroot time to install and configure the system. I used intel64-ivybridge gnome 2020-02-02

Remembering that I did not make any changes to the system and anyway, even formatting and extracting tar.xz I get the same error.

Thank you and I hope for the answer.

Sorry, when i made the post it doubled because i was not logged in, i'm new to the site i don't know how to delete the other post.

I can reproduce this issue so it looks like with an issue with the new stages or ego. I am investigating.

This is a legitimate bug. To work around the issue, perform the following before performing an ego sync:

# install -d /var/git -o 250 -g 250

Sync will then complete successfully.

For now I have updated the install instructions so people know to run the chown command before ego sync. I will address this in future stages.

Thanks for help Daniel, as i had followed the instalation guide exactly, i was already thinking that it would be a bug in the ego that was without write permission, but i didn't know which permission file.
