My immediate wild guess is that fakeroot is not handling fstat calls or somesuch, based on the output of strace (not shown here), but that's just a wild guess. ---> Drake Wilson -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages fakeroot depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries fakeroot recommends no packages. fakeroot suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
