hi.
i am using pacman 3.1 for x86_64.

and the package i create with makepkg have wrong permissions:
directory have permission drw------- and files have -rw-------

it's because i use umask=0077 for my user. 
and because, i suppose, of that new "feature", only runs in fakeroot when 
necessary i see in the ChangeLog of pacman 3.1

well it seems, that by willing to run in fakeroot only when needed you did not 
use fakeroot when you should

or the bug i am reporting is a feature ? 

it will break many PKGBUILD for people using umask=0077

at least pacman warns you when you install such a package
