Hi,

Quoting Santiago Vila (2025-03-16 22:20:37)
Regarding fakeroot, I was really thinking about packages that might rely on
fakeroot being present, but in a way not related with dpkg or
rules-requires-root, i.e.  imagine a package doing this in the build target,
either directly or indirectly:

fakeroot tar czvf some-artifact.tar.gz sometree

My concern here is that by dropping fakeroot from
the chroot, we may uncover some missing build-depends,
similar to what it happened with tzdata some time ago.

I guess the only way to see if there are any packages doing that
is by actually trying to build them without fakeroot, so that's what I will
probably do and will let you know how it goes...

yes, I expect there to be quite a number of packages that need fakeroot during
the build but forgot to declare an explicit Build-Depends on it because it used
to be always installed until recently.

I have filled most of those already, also those for missing apt and ca-certificates/openssl dependencies as we see all of those from reproduce.debian.net. But happy to get a second test :).

Cheers Jochen
