# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

fakeroot: fakeroot (Gives a fake root environment)
fakeroot: 
fakeroot: Fakeroot makes it possible to run commands in an environment 
fakeroot: faking root privileges. This is done by setting LD_PRELOAD to 
fakeroot: libfakeroot.so, which provides wrappers around getuid, chown, 
fakeroot: chmod, mknod, stat, and so on, thereby creating a fake root 
fakeroot: environment.
