If it doesn't work, complain to the original author of checkinstall as I integrated the fix published on his web site! And if it doesn't work, why don't you reopen the bug? If nobody does that how should I know that checkinstall doesn't work?
I already did. I did not report earlier because I'm using 11.0, as 11.1 was not instalable on my system. I could not test your patch. Now that I'm using 11.2 on another machine, I did.
A second problem is that the created spec file and the script set up a buildroot under /var/tmp/checkinstall.RANDOMNAME/, but the rpmbuild program instead searches in:
/usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/package_name_version/
That's the current problem.
Yes, we explicitly set buildroot as recommended by the rpm developers upstream. The side effect is, that you can't easily redefine it. Look at the scripts that are part of quilt to see how this can be overcome.
I have no idea of what "quilt" may be. Does checkinstall use it? I created a bugzilla with the solution to this. Just a word change in checkinstall. "Broken by design", and a single word change solves it? Wow. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
