That=E2=80=99s a common issue as I mentioned in
<https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D24834#8> (=E2=80=98sysconf=
dir=E2=80=99
corresponds to /etc here.)

Do address it, we need to modify Samba=E2=80=99s build system to not attemp=
t to
create /etc.  Samba uses Waf, so we=E2=80=99d have to comment out the Waf b=
it
that leads to this attempt to create /etc.  I=E2=80=99m not familiar with W=
af so
I=E2=80=99d =E2=80=9Cgrep -r=E2=80=9D in the source.  :-)

Could you look into it?

There are similar cases in gnu/packages/*.scm but the fix always depends
on the specifics of the build system being used, so nothing that really
helps here I=E2=80=99m afraid.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
