Package: fakeroot Version: 1.30.1-1.1 The default behavior for fakeroot is to show unknown files owned by root. When setting extended attributes on a file the owner stored by fakeroot is the real owner. The behavior can be observed when running the following commands inside fakeroot:
touch testfile ls -l # shows owner as root attr -s test -V x testfile ls -l # shows real owner I've looked at the code and there is some logic to set the owner to root if the uid/gid from the buffer is -1. I don't see where this value is ever sent by the client. Instead, I propose to always set the owner to root, just like in process_chmod. See attached patch.
