#8 Re: fakeroot never worked for me Posted by Anonymous (80.46.xx.xx) on Wed 25 May 2005 at 08:24 I have not looked at java-package for sometime now but the early java 1.5 SUN packages would try to install some stuff in /etc/ If you use fakeroot you are not root so cannot install anything in /etc so the fakeroot install fails... while if you use sudo you ARE root so you can continue.
