Check the bug again, Axel added what I think is the correct fix.  He's
waiting of a response from upstream, but we should have the fix soon.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460753

http://rnorwood.fedorapeople.org/fakechroot-2.8-13.fc9.4.i386.rpm

Is the one I built with Axel's patch, and it seems to work fine for
me.  Note that I bumped the release to the right of the dist tag, so
when axel released -14 (or whatever), upgrades should work.
