fakeroot 1.7.1 not fetchable

[Robert Schuster]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 269 bytes --]

Hi,
fakeroot 1.7.1's source cannot be fetched from debian mirrors. It is not
available there. A short googling revealed that is available through
gentoo's mirrors instead:

ftp://ftp.gentoo.org.ua/distfiles/fakeroot_1.7.1.tar.gz

File a bug?

Regards
Robert

fakeroot 1.7.1 was considered unstable when it was added to OE, but it
worked better than the 1.5.x version for some newer distros.  I suspect the
correct solution is to upgrade to the 1.8.x version.  Please open a bug so
we can track this issue; I'll do a cursory test with the most recent 1.8.x
version and commit a fix.

Fakeroot has been upgraded to the latest version available from upstream
(1.8.3).  It seems to work here (famous last words, no?), but this package
has a history of being sensitive, so please take a moment to test.  Aside
from the standard failures you might get when building fakeroot-native, the
other typical failure mode has historically involved strange behavior such
as directories and files being mixed up in the rootfs, and extremely odd
failures when bitbake invokes mkjffs to make the image of the rootfs.
