As per b.g.o. #264680 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264680

With reasonable certainty, searchPackage will fail when traversing /usr/portage/

Because /usr/portage/packages is not a category, and is not chmod u+rx for UID!=0

So traversal fails if you're not root, which is pretty annoying.

I don't consider it "fully fixed" yet, the implementation should only iterate values of category found in $OVERLAY/profiles/categories, and only fall back to pure iteration if that file is missing.

But the codebase is not in a state I can add that support cleanly yet.
