It's not bad advice. I see fakeroot consistently causing problems for people, and I've, personally, had bad experiences with it in the past on 4+ architectures. On the other hand sudo *works* (assuming one is able to set it up, which is merely a matter of reading the fine manual) and I've _never_ seen reports of problems with it similar to the ones people have (had?) with fakeroot. I also don't see any bonus in using fakeroot to build your own packages as presumably one isn't going to hax0r oneself and you _need_ root on a box somewhere (though not necessarily the build machine, granted, but in 99% of cases people build and test on the same machine, I suspect) so you can install & test a package (as any uploaded package should be). So I'll continue to pimp sudo as long as people continue to have problems with fakeroot. YMMV -- James
