Problem building packages for Fremantle after installing Harmattan SDK
 

I installed the Harmattan SDK (for some stuff I am doing with pulseaudio) following the install instructions for that and now when I try to run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot it says "fakeroot: preload library `libfakeroot-sysv.so' not found, aborting." If I run it without -rfakeroot it says "dh_testroot: You must run this as root (or use fakeroot).".

Anyone know how I can fix this or do I just need to revert all the scratchbox stuff back to Fremantle (and if so how do I do that inside my Ubuntu VM?)

oh man...
I've never played with the Harmattan SDK...
was never curious enough...
let alone tried to get Fremantle back from it..
all that comes to my mind is "yargh" ...

BUT.
I do remember reading MohammadAG and merlin1991 were discussing the same "fakeroot: preload library `libfakeroot-sysv.so' not found, aborting." issue...grab their ears..they may have some insight since I recall they were discussing it over in maemo ssu irc

I fixed it adding
{prefix = "/usr/lib/libfakeroot", use_orig_path = true},
just before
{prefix = "/usr/lib", map_to = target_root},
in the simple_chain inside the
share/scratchbox2/lua_scripts/pathmaps/simple/00_default.lua file.
But don't know if this is the right fix.
Comments ?
Thanks,
Claudio

When I installed the harmattan SDK it upgraded some scratchbox packages (including some fakeroot bits). Running sb-menu and selecting "install fakeroot" copied over the new fakeroot bits into my FREMANTLE_ARMEL target and now its working again.

whew...
glad to hear you Macgyver'd it.
I'll file that away just in case I ever run into a prob in scratch that smells similar.
