Package: fakeroot
Version: 1.5.8
Severity: normal
We are using fakeroot in a build system that ultimately creates a small
squashfs image for the embedded devices. fakeroot is used to allow all
users to build this system without having root access in any form.
In about 50% of the cases (can be larger), the build fails because a
file that has been stored in the target root directory is recognised as
a link instead of a kernel module.
The error is always pretty consistent: a kernel module:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] flashfs]$ fakeroot -i ../fakeroot.env ls -al
lib/modules/2.6.16-fpga1/kernel/drivers/fpga/nww.ko
ls: cannot read symbolic link
lib/modules/2.6.16-fpga1/kernel/drivers/fpga/nww.ko: Invalid argument
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6727 May 3 09:04
lib/modules/2.6.16-fpga1/kernel/drivers/fpga/nww.ko
[EMAIL PROTECTED] flashfs]$ ls -al
lib/modules/2.6.16-fpga1/kernel/drivers/fpga/nww.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 marc firmware 6727 May 3 09:04
lib/modules/2.6.16-fpga1/kernel/drivers/fpga/nww.ko
The kernel module is just copied in the directory using install
(previously cp). When not using the fakerootdb, the file is correctly
recognised as a normal file. The copy or install has been done using
fakeroot or without fakeroot, no real change is to be seen.

Running the build again, might result in success or again in failure,
often resulting in 5 consecutive builds failing due to this.
I've not yet seen any pattern in it. This behaviour has been seen in
amd64, ppc and i386 architectures.
ii fakeroot 1.5.8 Gives
a fake root environment
I've been trying several things (not fakeroot) for more than half a year
now, but nothing seems to alleviate the problem. The only effect I seem
to notice (for what it is worth) is that a slower machine has less
problems with this problem than a fast one; but since it's another arch,
it's difficult to compare.
