Paulo:

I believe so.  I had fakeroot 1.12 installed, removed it (and
fakeroot-libs) with yum, built the src.rpm from Axel's repository for
1.11-19, and installed that rpm using yum localinstall.  RPM reports
the following:

$ rpm -qa | grep fakeroot
fakeroot-1.11-19.fc16.x86_64

As I said, it may not be worth wasting more of your time on this.
I'll try to poke around some more this weekend to see what I can find.

Thanks,

George
