### Verification

- [X] My `brew doctor` output says `Your system is ready to brew.` and am still able to reproduce my issue.
- [X] I ran `brew update` and am still able to reproduce my issue.
- [X] I have resolved all warnings from `brew doctor` and that did not fix my problem.
- [X] I searched for recent similar issues at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues?q=is%3Aissue and found no duplicates.

### What were you trying to do (and why)?

use `fakeroot` to build a debian package with `dpkg`

### What happened (include all command output)?

`fakeroot` 1.36.2 just hangs with no output on the command line

Removing `fakeroot` from the invocation allows `dpkg` to proceed, with the caveat that uid/gid on the output is incorrect

Manually reverting to `fakeroot` 1.32 by copying the old formula from github resolves the hang.

### What did you expect to happen?

`fakeroot dpkg` command does not hang

### Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running `brew` commands)

```shell
brew install fakeroot dpkg
fakeroot dpkg
