It also means dh_fixperms is not run afterwise - On GNU/kFreeBSD recent tar versions use the lchmod() function to change the permissions of directories. - fakeroot doesn't wrap the lchmod() function probably because it doesn't exist on GNU/Linux (or rather is not implemented). It is also the reason why fakeroot currently fails to build on GNU/kFreeBSD. I can try to provide a patch to fix the issue, but it would be nice to get some guidelines about how to wrap a new function. This function is simply: int lchmod(const char *path, mode_t mode); -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
