Summary:                    upgrade fakeroot
Description: 
I'm running stagepkg and when reviewing the prototype file I noticed that
user:group assignments are not being properly set. While inspecting the
stagepkg script I noticed a mention of some fakeroot bug on x86 so the
user:group are being set to root:bin for all files, this packages has a ton
of files that need to different user:group ownership.

I can use the prototype generated on sparc but given that our fakeroot
package is really old I though upgrading would be nice.

you seem to think that "upgrading" will fix what was inherantly an upstream
"bug". 

If you'd like to test out any new version of fakeroot under x86 (if there
even IS one), and verify that the newer version works, I will be happy to
repackage a newer version.
You dont need root to compile and test it out.

However, I greatly doubt that the bug is fixed, since the issue appears to
be specific to "solaris + x86".

so, I'm closing this bug summarily for now. 
i'll reiterate that if you'd like to confirm that there is a new version
(which you didnt say you'd even checked yourself, you just said our current
package is "really old"), and that it fixes the problem, I'll be happy to
repackage.
