That's why it's fake. Try this:

fakeroot
install dict -o root -g root -m 0644 ../../pkg/usr/share/cowpatty/dict
ls -l ../../pkg/usr/share/cowpatty/dict

As fakeroot is fake, it won't actually chown the files to root. It pretends it did to everything that runs inside fakeroot. When you tar it up inside fakeroot, tar thinks the files are owned by root and adds them to the archive like that.

icarus requested removal with this reason: stupid mistake on my (and freenode's #archlinux) folks
