Paulo:

Thanks for all of the help!  You are correct that KDE was the culprit.
 Building under Gnome (Cinnamon, to be precise), it worked just fine.
I also experimented with upgrading back to fakeroot 1.12, but found
that didn't work.

I'm curious about these 2 issues.  I notice that fakeroot is available
up to version 1.18, and I may try that to see if it works.  As for the
KDE issue, I may just ignore that and build under Gnome, but I still
find it odd that the desktop would have an impact on this.

Thanks again.

George
