Description
Installing mason packages on centos7 I see what looks like a non-fatal error around fakeroot. I'm not sure what we are using fakeroot for, so I plan to dig into this:
* Downloading binary package linux-x86_64/lldb/3.9.1.tar.gz...
which: no fakeroot in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin)
* Installed binary package at /usr/local/src/mason_packages/linux-x86_64/lldb/3.9.1

Research direction
Start by tracing Mason's installation path that emits the which: no fakeroot message during the CentOS 7 binary package install. Determine whether fakeroot is required for this path; done means the warning is removed when unnecessary or its purpose and expected behavior are made clear.
