[arch-dev-public] critical: fakeroot broken again, breaks makepkg

[Thomas Bächler]

Oops, this should have gone to the public list directly, so I'll repost
it here:

I saw this problem a while ago already, but didn't really investigate
it. When building a package, you would often end up with
non-world-readable /usr/man/manX directories.

This happens whenever this code in makepkg is executed:

# move /usr/share/man files to /usr/man
if [ -d $startdir/pkg/usr/share/man ]; then
        cd "$startdir"
        mkdir -p pkg/usr/man
        cp -a pkg/usr/share/man/* pkg/usr/man/
        rm -rf pkg/usr/share/man
fi

This can be reproduced easily:

[09:29:39][thomas at artin shm]$ fakeroot
bash-3.2# mkdir -p foo/ab bar
bash-3.2# ls -al foo/ bar/
bar/:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  40 Jul 12 09:29 .
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 100 Jul 12 09:29 ..

foo/:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  60 Jul 12 09:29 .
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 100 Jul 12 09:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  40 Jul 12 09:29 ab
bash-3.2# cp -a foo/* bar/
bash-3.2# ls -al foo/ bar/
bar/:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  60 Jul 12 09:29 .
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 100 Jul 12 09:29 ..
drwx------ 2 root root  40 Jul 12 09:29 ab

foo/:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  60 Jul 12 09:29 .
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 100 Jul 12 09:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  40 Jul 12 09:29 ab
bash-3.2#

I can't find out exactly what's causing this, so if anyone has an idea,
feel free to share it. This should definitely be fixed quickly, as it
prevents me from updating several packages.
