What document path?

The checkinstall configuration is the same as it has been for years, not 
changed. The program I'm compiling, same thing, it compiled correctly in 
10.3. And the paths the rpm contains are correct.

Notice that the error is:

/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib': No such 
file or directory

but the `/usr/local/share/doc/' exists, and the previous command had to 
create the "xine-lib" and failed:

test -z "/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguide" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguide"
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib': No such 
file or directory


If I run that command manually, it works:

nimrodel:~ # test -z "/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguide" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguersguide"
nimrodel:~ # l /usr/local/share/doc/xine-lib/hackersguersguide
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Oct  2 01:20 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 88 Oct  2 01:20 ../


why does it fail when checkinstall runs it?
