Seemed to work OK for me earlier on x86_64 as well. As a side note: Thomas and I playing around with fakeroot-ng was not quite as successful.
Too sad. The current fakeroot seems kind of broken; at least on x86_64. Afaik kde3 packages, amarok2 and mplayer have to be built as root atm.
Which problems do you have with fakeroot-ng? Does Debian already use it?
The question should be "Which problems do you NOT have with fakeroot-ng?". Very often it simply hangs instead of executing anything. It doesn't wrap most of the system calls (at least not successfully), the package looks as if it was built without fakeroot in the end (thomas/users permissions everywhere). It is supposed to be able to keep a trace file so you can use permissions over several sessions, this file is also empty. And the latest SVN version completely floods the logfile (if enabled), producing a Gigabyte of data within a minute, but didn't do any work.
OK, I see. So let wait for the new makepkg with separate pacakge function. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
