How in the world do "minorities" have anything to do with anything in this thread?
A few people mentioned that they run into issues. Did you miss their messages?
For example: On Sun, 04 Jan 2015 19:48:14 +0100, Marcel Kleinfeller wrote: [snip]
[marcel@oompf ~]$ sudo packer -Syu [snip] makepkg: Ungültige Option '--asroot' The build failed [snip]
The OP should have used LANG=C or LC_ALL=C to get rid of the German messages.
No, I did not miss them, your terminology was just strange. The people that have issues need to be educated to do it differently, nothing more. ^^^^^^^^ Do they need a teacher? The reasons to drop '--asroot' are valid reasons. The style it was dropped IMO is a problem. Fakeroot is a Debian thingy. What does happen if the fakeroot developers ignore common sense of backwards compatibility within a major release? ;)
Fakeroot depends on sed. What happens assumed an option for sed should be dropped within a major release? Is community spirit out of style?
