Hi Tshepang,
Sorry for taking so long .....
The problem seems to be that
sudo apt-get source -b cdbs
works but
fakeroot apt-get source -b cdbs
fails.
In wajig I've used fakeroot for the build command. It seems to work
otherwise and does not need system admin. (I try to avoid sysadmin
unless it is really needed.)
I guess this is a case where it is needed, but I wonder why, compared
to other packages.
Do you have any insights about that? Perhaps I just need to use sudo
for all builds. It would be a pity.
Keen to know your suggestion....
Regards,
Graham
