Package: fakeroot Version: 1.20.2-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
I just tried "fakeroot make deb-pkg" of the Linux Kernel sources, and when it tries to do its "chown -R root:root $pdir" (from scripts/package/builddeb) it fails with a "chown: invalid group: 'root:root' ". Trying to narrow down, one finds that, once inside a fakeroot shell, a "chgrp root <file>" fails for any file with 'chgrp: invalid group: 'root'' Expected output: just change the group without error.
