If you use fakeroot to call dpkg-buildpackage, it works prefectly.
Something is wrong with the way that dpkg-buildpackage is calling
fakeroot. The chown calls work perfect, and you can build the
package
using a different syntax.
There's nothing wrong in dpkg-buildpackage. The "build" target is
called
_without_ root rights. Only the clean and binary target are supposed
to
have root rights.
However your build target depends on binary-src and binary-src
contains
the call "chown -R root.root $(TMPSRC)".
You should arrange your build system to have the operations that
require
root to be called when debian/rules binary is called and not when
debian/rules build is called.
I've been digging around in this, and have found something extremely
peculiar.
This odd behavior only appears when trying to build release -45, but
not -44. As far as I can tell, the differences between the two are
very minor. I can't figure out what broke between -44 and -45 that
has caused dpkg-buildpackage to fail. The rules file is the same in
both releases, yet one builds and the other fails.
Do you have any ideas why that might be?
This bug is the last bug holding me back from uploading a new qmail-
src for lenny.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
Cheers!
