But I wonder why you are doing the build > under fakeroot to begin with? Wasn't the SOP "build as > yourself, install as root"? That's exactly what started this search, because I was running "make deb-pkg". (Effectively.) dpkg-buildpackage wants to think it is running as root, either via sudo or via fakeroot. I had my build environment switched over entirely to fakeroot, as it just seems to be a better practice, but I've temporarily switched back to sudo. However, your explanation has pointed out to me how I can solve this - run "fakeroot -u" instead of "fakeroot", and I think it will be fixed. lkml cc:ed to hopefully stick this in an archive where someone else will find it. -- Ryan Anderson sometimes Pug Majere - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
