Comment 2 Alexey Torkhov 2009-10-13 11:59:14 UTC 
There are bug 525778, but my patch is contains better patch as it disables fakeroot run and allows to do 32-on-64 install (with setarch).

Which is not possible without root run according to man page.
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-10-13 12:53:53 UTC 
Interesting if you could document how to do 32-on-64
installs somewhere.

I pushed the patch here:

Command like this works for me from root:
LANG=C i386 febootstrap fedora-11 fedora-test -u updates-released-f11 -i bash

From user or without LANG=C it fails with various errors.

OK this is upstream, closing now.
