Package: fakeroot
Version: 1.18.2
Severity: normal

fakeroot 1.18.2 fails under Solaris 8 due to the following issues:

 * compilation fails due to ACL functions misdetection (sys/acl.h header is
   present, acl_* functions are not)

 * 'make check' fails due to shell construct, which is not parseable by Solaris
   shell

 * t.tar testcase fails due to Solaris tar limitation

 * t.tar testcase also fails due to unfortunate interaction between ld.so.1,
   fakeroot and isaexec(3): many Solaris utilities are implemented as a stub
   which selects the particular version of utility based on the ISA of the
   computer being run on, and set of (optimized) implementations. This leads to
   binaries of different bitness being run in any non-trivial shell
   script. ld.so.1 fails to load 32-bit libfakeroot.so into 64-bit process and
   vica versa.

Fixes for aforementioned problems can be found in the following git repository:
