thanks for the info! I was already guessing this since I noticed that
fchmodat was used but grep -r fchmodat /lib found nothing on my system.

Ok, I think I'm going to use a clean debian unstable chroot for
testing the cvs head in the future.

http://plash.beasts.org/download.html links to

http://plash.beasts.org/packages/common/plash_1.17.orig.tar.gz

but it seems to be 404 -- where is the 1.17 release?

Interesting. In the case of fchmodat would this mean

1) patching glibc to support fchmodat(),
2) calling fchmodat syscall directly or
3) doing completely without fchmodat?

best regards,
