MORIN --- Gustavo, Andrey, OK, so this is a known issue with fakeroot relating to xattrs. There is nothing we can do in Buildroot, except as you said, to run outside fakeroot. But that solution means we need to tweak our fs infra just for the sake of a bug in fakeroot. That's not nice... However, following the bug report Gustavo copied, I got to: https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/projects/pseudo As they say: > Pseudo is a program that can either be used directly or as > an LD_PRELOAD, which allows these operations to succeed as > if the user did have system administrator privileges even > though they are an ordinary user. > > Pseudo has a lot of similarities to fakeroot but is a new > implementation that improves on the problems seen using > fakeroot. Maybe we should also go with pseudo in Buildroot, and ditch fakeroot? I'll try to have a look at that, and see if I can come up with a patch. Regards, Yann E.
