My hack for the above is:
- create each directory it wants, by hand, and rerun checkinstall.
This is a bug in the makefile, not a problem with checkinstall. If you're creating an rpm, you don't want to put files in the real file system. Instead, you pass an installation root directory to the makefile, using an environment variable, and all directories are then supposed to be relative to it. So if the installation wants to have a directory in the real file system, then the makefile needs to be fixed. This would have tripped up rpm too Incidentally, I don't see how it could ever be checkinstall's problem that a directory doesn't get created. This is always the job of the makefile Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
