+%description
+fakeroot runs a command in an environment wherein it appears to have
+root privileges for file manipulation. fakeroot works by replacing the
+file manipulation library functions (chmod(2), stat(2) etc.) by ones
+that simulate the effect the real library functions would have had,
+had the user really been root.
