Needless to say, it works for me :-)

Is your temporary folder (/tmp or TMPDIR) mounted with the -noexec flag? If so, what you see is the expected behavior. Set "TMPDIR" environment variable to point to somewhere that isn't mounted with -noexec and try again.

Upstream checks this situation and gives a more verbose error message. I will try to add support for an alternative environment variable as well, so that you don't move the TMPDIR for all of the applications fakeroot-ng runs, only it itself.
