Description: 
Fakeroot-ng is a clean re-implementation of fakeroot. The core idea
is to run a program, but wrap all system calls that program performs
so that it thinks it is running as root, while it is, in practice,
running as an unprivileged user. When the program is trying to perform
a privileged operation (such as modifying a file's owner or creating
a block device), this operation is emulated, so that an unprivileged
operation is actually carried out, but the result of the privileged
operation is reported to the program whenever it attempts to query
the result.
