Yes. I can also create a file (within the fakeroot or fakeroot-tcp environment) with touch and it says the owner is webb. Interestingly, the shell (bash) tells me I'm root when I'm in the fakeroot or fakeroot-tcp environment. My shell prompt is: PS1="-------------------------------------------------------\n<\h> \u\! \w\n>" I've been trying to compile from source, but I'm having a hell of a time getting the stable version of this package. I figured out that apt-get source by default gets unstable sources, but I tried: $ apt-get source -b fakeroot=stable Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Unable to find a source package for fakeroot $ apt-get source fakeroot Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Need to get 981kB of source archives. Get:1 http://ftp3.nrc.ca unstable/main fakeroot 1.5.6 (dsc) [707B] Get:2 http://ftp3.nrc.ca unstable/main fakeroot 1.5.6 (tar) [980kB] <snip> $ apt-get source -b fakeroot=unstable Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Unable to find a source package for fakeroot So why doesn't the last one work if the second works? I obviously don't know what I'm doing here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
