Hello, >>> Some possible ways to address that: >>> * Provide fakeroot wrapper only as example script >>> * Register fakeroot wrapper only optionally, using debconf >>> * Only document how _user_ can register fakeroot wrapper >>> * Provide fakeroot wrapper in separate package fakeroot-pseudo

I think I will either make it work better in the future, or >>provide debconf-based choice to the user, so let's keep this bug open >>for now. > I see that you removed the Provides in Jan 2022 but reverted it in Aug > 2022. Do you still remember why you reverted it?

For example: > > https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=exim4&arch=amd64&ver=4.99%7ERC1-1&stamp=1756919050&raw=0 It’s not clear to me what’s broken, can you please elaborate a bit? > Given the pseudo is not in stable, can you drop the Provides again? -- Cheers, Andrej
