I once did a "checkinstall" for an app that I previously installed with "make install", then installed the resulting rpm with Yast and finally de-installed it again with Yast.
I did so, because somebody told me, the rpm-install would overwrite all the files that were installed with "make install", and so de-installing the rpm with Yast would remove everything completely.
I don't know, if this is always true, but here it worked that time ;-)
You are right. There is one instance when it doesn't: when the install cycle tries to be clever and skips the already installed parts. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
