[Dovecot] Fatal: Running as root isn't permitted

[Juan Asensio Sánchez]

Hi

When i try to compile 1.1rc4-0~auto+22 from source packages for
Debian, under Debian Etch 4.0r3, i get this error:

-------------------------

I have followed these steps:

[[Included deb-src http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ testing-auto main in
sources.list]]
# apt-get install fakeroot dpkg-dev build-essential
# apt-get source dovecot
# cd dovecot-1.1.rc4
# apt-get build-dep dovecot
# dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

So with the previous version, i had compiled packages in parent folder.

I don't know much about compiling, so too many questions. How can i
solve this error?

NB: Could you add in the source packages of this repository the
plugins por antispam and autocreate? Thanks.
