Package: fakeroot
Version: 1.20.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
I just tried "fakeroot make deb-pkg" of the Linux Kernel sources, and
when it tries to do its "chown -R root:root $pdir" (from
scripts/package/builddeb) it fails with a "chown: invalid group:
'root:root' ".
Trying to narrow down, one finds that, once inside a fakeroot shell, a
"chgrp root <file>" fails for any file
with 'chgrp: invalid group: 'root''
Expected output: just change the group without error.
NOTE: in Ubuntu this bug is absent (version 1.20-3ubuntu2)

As you can see, your user/system is unaware of any group names.
You might want to check the permissions and contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf
or /etc/group, but this is clearly not related to fakeroot.
