Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

Using fakeroot in context of a package manager similar to `pacman`, it wants to remove system directories containing a package instead of the package itself. This problem does not appear on Linux, only on macOS.

Do you mean that pacman behaves differently because it thinks that it's running as root?
