I don't know if this is relevant but i have just been trying to install mozilla-nss (3.12.4) from slackbuilds.org and getting another Permission denied problem.
If someone could try building the package under current and let me know if my system is screwed again that would be nice. Or if someone has any ideas that would be even better.

I have checked google again today for both the nvidia and nss problems and have come up with nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas where i should be looking or which packages from the last few updates could have caused this? I have tried reinstalling the kernel packages with no change and will no work back through the changelogs 1 by 1.
The permissions problem may be resolved by a change in ownership or group. I would make sure that the directories (excluding /home, of course) you are working out of have the correct owner and group. For example, /tmp should be owned by root and the group should be root. I feel that something has messed up your root ownership and possibly group thingy. That happened to me once before, and I had to change an entire directory and all subfolders to get it back. I have no clue as to what the cause was.
I re-installed the Nvidia driver when I upgraded to current so I don't think it's an inherent issue with -current.
I also have the latest (updated yesterday) -current with 2.6.33.3 kernel and yesterday I re-installed nvidia driver with no problems. driver file was NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.24-pkg1.run for GeForce 9500gt.
Also I just tried that mozilla-nss package from sbo and it built and installed just fine.
Sorry looks like a specific problem with your permissions rather than a general problem with current.
