Re: fakeroot make-jpkg permissions

Hi Thanks for answering
> What are the filepermissions of that file?

For the bin file, they were initially set to read write for user and 
read for all others.  I tried setting them to rwx for all and then rw, 
but same result. But it seems that the problem is in creating the new 
file. But if fakeroot is really "faking root", it shouldn't be an issue, 
or am I being too literal?

Thanks

Paul
