Fedora 7, 8 and 9 are shipping a version of fakeroot that is

The bug was characterised here
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=381016 , and with
trivial repo steps here
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446351 . This bug was
fixed in 1.8.2 - F7,8,9 ship 1.6.4.
Hopefully, F9/F8 can get an updated version of the package included.
Help and pointers welcome :-) If that's not possible, I will prepare a
package for the school server and offer it here.
It sure is possible, I'll look into updating the packages for >= F8.
BTW were in the schook server project are you using it? Just curious. :)
To Clint - looking for a link to the latest version to grace this
email, I cannot find a source package or a tagged package anywhere.
The most recent release I can see on Debian is 1.9.5 on Lenny and
1.9.6 on Sid, but there are no upstream tarballs on Alioth. Fakeroot
is useful on many platforms - is it possible to arrange for publishing
the tarballs somewhere?
I use the tarballs on
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/
For example for the latest fakeroot you can pick
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.9.6.tar.gz
