You can report a checkinstall bug at bugzilla.novell.com if you like (a good subject line would be "checkinstall is broken by design" :)), but I would really suggest creating proper packages manually - if an older version is already packaged, it should be rather easy.
Creating a proper package manually is a task for profesionals, it is not simple. For us plain users the only option is checkinstall.
I don't use it to create packages for distribution, but simply to keep YaST happy, and make it easy to uninstall the package.

Same here, so as not to run into serious problems I have seen other suffer after a "make install". I built checkinstall from sources many moons ago and it was more problematical than the one that comes with the distro. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
