Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
faketime and libfaketime in and after Debian 11 (bullseye) do not fake
timestamps to common commands which use the statx syscall, such as
stat(1) or ls(1). Instead, the on-disk timestamps are returned:
# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/faketime/libfaketime.so.1
FAKETIME='1970-01-01 00:00:01' stat /

In Debian 10 (buster) and earlier, or in sid with faketime built from
the current git master branch, the correct result is returned (all
timestamps are returned as 1970-01-01 00:00:01.0). This seems to be
related to upstream bug https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/issues/417
which was fixed by PR https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/pull/434
Unfortunately, faketime hasn't had a release since that fix for statx
was merged.
