Package: debhelper Version: 13.11.4 Hello Niels et al.
Now that most packages allow building without fakeroot, I would expect this to work: (Using indent as an example because it has Rules-Requires-Root: no and a very low build time) $ apt-get source indent $ cd indent-2.2.13 $ debian/rules build [...] $ debian/rules binary dh binary dh_testroot dh_testroot: error: You must run this as root (or use fakeroot). make: *** [debian/rules:3: binary] Error 255 If I replace dh_testroot by a symlink to true, then it fails because dh_installdocs tries to use chown. This is strange because I don't need fakeroot at all inside the chroot when I build the package using dpkg-buildpackage. Not sure if my expectancy is realistic or not, maybe I'm missing something. Thanks.
