FWD: Re: Bug#36784: queue's line in /etc/suid.conf makes suid.register output an error

[Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net>]

For reasons having to do with the brokenness of fakeroot, the queue package
gets very messed up if built with fakeroot but is fine if built as root. I
think the sparc deb of queue has this problem because it was built with
fakeroot. Could it plase be rebuilt as root?

It's in the attachment.  Aparently, the suidregister part was
automatically inserted by dh_installinit.  Unfortunately I don't know
much about it to go any further, so if you need more information please
send me an e-mail.  Regards,
