After some short tests we found strip failing for any regular user as well inside fakeroot on files with permission 444 or 555:
$ cp /lib/libacl.so.1 /tmp/testlib.so; chmod 444 /tmp/testlib.so; /usr/bin/strip /tmp/testlib.so /usr/bin/strip: unable to copy file '/tmp/testlib.so'; reason: Permission denied
Dan could confirm this on his system.
That is expected. Both 444 and 555 are missing write permissions, and strip re-writes the file.
Yes. But somehow we get files (unwanted?) with such permissions into our systems. I'm not sure if fakeroot causes this. I have several files on my system with 444/555 permission that all should have given my stripping issue. Either stripping worked in the past or whatever happened lately. I filed a bug today http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17656 -Andy
