Here goes something to help.  Save this as
test/packages/tests/fakechroot.py:


self.description = "fakechroot test"

p = pmpkg("pkg")
p.install['post_install'] = "echo $PWD"
self.addpkg2db("sync", p)

self.args = "-S pkg"


Then run:

test/pacman/pactest.py test/pacman/tests/fakechroot.py -v --keep-root -d2

with the old and new fakechroot.   The old one outputs "/" as $PWD, the
new one outputs "/tmp/tmp_XXXXXX".


A minimal testcase would be good to report to fakechroot upstream.  I
have failed so far...
