Thanks to the combined efforts of reasonable quantities of alcohol and several people who know significantly more about this sort of thing than me, it now works. /usr/include/sys/stat.h rewrites fstat() to __fstat13(). The fstat() in libfakeroot therefore gets rewritten to __fstat13(). The fstat in libfakeroot calls fstat() in libc, which simply calls __fstat13(). Sadly, since libfakeroot is LD_PRELOADed, this calls the libfakeroot version. Which calls fstat() again. Altering libfakeroot to call __fstat13() rather than fstat() makes things work, but this is likely to break if the version name changes again in the future. I'm not sure what a more long-term fix is. Many thanks to Tony Finch and Peter Benie for working this out, because I'd never have got there myself. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
