A consequence of this is that well formed packages are not, under normal circumstances, able to be made by a user other than root.

The solution to this bug could be related to Bug 0011766 , Bug 0012901 .

Try `fakeroot make package`, see 0010325.

Hi all,

Daniel is right concerning deb package.
fakeroot cpack -G DEB
should make a perfectly ok package.

Moreover 0010325 shall handle this automatically (since 2.8.6)
for DEB package?

Kiri,
Why would you need mixed root/user ownership inside your deb package?
Is this even recommended for a .deb?
(0029184)
Eric NOULARD   
2012-04-16 15:48   
Waiting for feedback before going any futher because I don't see why we would
need something fancier than automatic fakeroot as provided by 0010325

Maybe fakeroot is not be available on non-Linux systems. It operates by intercepting system calls - so I would not expect it to be universal. It is not a normal way to do something that requires no root privileges.

MS Windows has tar by MSys http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys [^] .

Apparently Bug 0010325 needs to be re-opened, because fakeroot was installed on the system, but it did not create a correct package.

I my case, I did not wish mixed root/user ownership inside the deb package. The problem is that it happened though it is unwanted. What is mixed is the 2 'tar' files in the 'ar' file. 1 is owned by the user, 1 by root. This is bad.

Agreed, fakeroot may not be available on non-linux system
I didn't expect someone building a .deb package on anything but a linux system.

Then, you are saying that you build .deb package on Windows + MSYS ?
Where is the produced package installed on a sibling Windows system ?
If the produced package is installed on Linux system, are you
cross-compiling (on a Windows host toward a Linux target) ?

No, I don't have MS Windows.
I was building on Debian with Debian package building tools installed.
(0029197)
Eric NOULARD   
2012-04-17 02:28   
So you are saying that

1) you build a .deb on Debian system
2) have fakeroot installed
3) get .deb with innappropriate ownership in "control.tar.gz"
   but correct in "data.tar.gz"

Am I right?

Could you try:

"fakeroot cpack -G DEB"

Does this produce a correct w.r.t. ownership .deb package?

Yes, this is right.
Forseeably, I will be unable to test this within 1 month.

Ok I can reproduce the error.
I re-worded th e bug report because it was too vague.

I did push a fix for that on stage/CPackDeb-fixFakerootOnControl.
I did test it then pushed to next:

Merge topic 'CPackDeb-fixFakerootOnControl' into next

abc9b32 Use fakeroot for control.tar.gz as well

I think it could be worth an inclusion in 2.8.8 if there is at least
one rc left.
