Package: fakeroot Architecture: any Description: tool for simulating superuser privileges fakeroot provides a fake "root environment" by means of LD_PRELOAD and SysV IPC (or TCP) trickery. It puts wrappers around getuid(), chown(), stat(), and other file-manipulation functions, so that unprivileged users can (for instance) populate .opk archives with root-owned files; various build tools use fakeroot for this by default. . This package provides the fakeroot tool.
