This aur is very important in the FreeBSD Linux compatibility layer, because most aur need to be built in a sandbox and under regular user privileges, and FreeBSD has not implemented these features. However, providing it only in aur form has successfully placed users in the paradox of which came first, the chicken or the arrive. Could you consider providing it as a binary in the extra official repository instead of the current aur? see also https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281489

It is still useful for other environments. For example, when running Arch in Termux.

PSA - fakeroot-tcp is no longer needed for Arch-WSL. Now that archlinux is an officially supported distribution, you can just install fakeroot from core repo. I've removed fakeroot-tcp from official and unofficial Arch installs and replaced it with fakeroot, works great. Not sure but you may need to: wsl --update --pre-release

Don't quote me on that. That is just the environment I am running atm.

It seems that 1.37-1 was removed too, now I only see 1.37.1.1-1 and 1.37.1.2-1 listed.

I have updated the package. Thank you for your comment.

Disregard my previous link, it's wrong (read the filename too quickly). Nonetheless, the error is still valid.

Hi, I am getting a 404 error when installing the package. Seems we should point to http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.31.orig.tar.gz instead.

@Mr.Wizard You are right. I prematurely added the fix because i had the same mistake to not load /etc/profile in my test arch container. Reverted ddae5646d635

Ah thank you, it does work on my another machine. It looks like it's a problem in my own setup. Sorry for spamming.
