[Buildroot] [PATCH] fakeroot: bump version to 1.21-2

[Andreas Naumann <dev@andin.de>]

Hi,

I have another reason to bump to 1.21, but experience the same 
difficulties in getting the configure step right. What would be a 
sensible way to avoid depending on autoconf/automake?

Background: I experience file ownership issues when doing a 'cp -a' 
inside fakeroot 1.20.2. I tracked it down to the bump commit (from 
1.18.4). Not sure what is causing it, but I just tried 1.21 and all is 
well again.


regards,
Andreas
