This is Bug 432497, if you are interested.
OK, I was wrong. checkinstall doesn't work like rpm, it seems. Now that I look at it, I see that it preloads a library called installwatch, which intercepts calls to syscalls like chmod and redirects them to its temporary directory.
Yes, I remember it uses a temporary directory and then removes it on exit; one never sees it.
The bug here is that chmod doesn't actually use the syscall chmod, it uses something called fchmodat, which the installwatch lib doesn't intercept, it only does chmod and fchmod. It seems it needs to be updated with all the newer calls
Argh! Well, at least I have now an idea of what is happening. Thanks for giving it a thought :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
