Arch Linux

Description:
The cron script (cron-pacmatic) that's installed with pacmatic depends on fakeroot to work correctly. Additionally cron-pacmatic pipes stdout/stderr to /dev/null when executing fakeroot. This makes it difficult to detect that fakeroot is required for the script to work.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
pacmatic 20121112-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1) Make sure pacmatic is installed and that fakeroot is NOT installed
2) Run cron-pacmatic <your@mail.tld> as non-root user
3) cron-pacmatic should output these warnings:
$ cron-pacmatic my.email@domain.tld
warning: database file for 'core' does not exist
warning: database file for 'extra' does not exist
warning: database file for 'community' does not exist
4) cron-pacmatic does not download database files into /tmp/localsync/sync
5) Install fakeroot and run cron-pacmatic again, no warnings should be printed and /tmp/localsync/sync will be populated
