+Subject: [PATCH 06/18] trans/fakeroot: override fshelp_isowner
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+As of recently, fakeroot would fail to create symlinks:
+
+% fakeroot-hurd ln -s foo a
+ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘a’: Operation not permitted
+
+Fix this by overriding fshelp_isowner.
+
+Various netfs functions will call fshelp_isowner to check whether USER
+is allowed to do some operation.  As fakeroot is not running within
+the fakeauth'ed environment, USER contains the real user.
+
+I have no explanation why this ever worked.
+
+* trans/fakeroot.c (fshelp_isowner): New function.
