@ezio you still shouldn’t, use fakeroot :/

like generally this may fsck up your builds, plus is generally less secure :c

@domi @ezio is there any reason to prefer fakeroot (which uses LD_PRELOAD to provide wrappers around various libc functions so won’t work for anything that is statically linked or uses syscalls directly) over something using user namespaces (like unshare -Ur chroot)?

@noisytoot @ezio literally all major distros build with fakeroot (when needed)
