Description claus 2014-07-12 09:33:27 UTC 
The "configure" run for sub-package pynac of port math/sage fails because of
improper file mode of the extracted archive pynac-0.3.2.tar.bz2. All files in this
archive have group write enabled, and python module sys posts a warning, which
causes "configure" to interpret this as a missing python package "distutils".

Workaround (tested): extract pynac-0.3.2.tar.bz to some arbitrary location, remove group write permission from all files, set owner to root:wheel, and re-create the archive. Adjust SHA checksum in
work/sage-6.2/build/pkgs/pynac/checksums.ini.

Workaround2: change permissions for the port and make the port as a user.

Suggested fix: change build procedures to extract pynac-0.3.2.tar.bz2 with
"--no-same-permissions" OR get author of the pynac archive to set proper
permissions

I am going to try using the attached patch, which is a replacement for files/patch-build_pkgs_pynac_spkg-install.  So far the tests look good.  If it works, I'll probably commit it tomorrow.

Thank you for taking the time to identify the cause of this problem.

I'll also see about getting the fix upstream.
