I see this problem often with the checkinstall in 9.2. You have to do a make install, then do checkinstall and "rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/<whatever.rpm>" to keep the rpm database honest. I haven't had a look to see what the differences are between the SuSE checkinstall and the original sources, but at 9.0 I installed the one I built from non-SuSE source and it always segfaulted. On Mandrake 10.1 I'm successfully using checkinstall-1.6.0 built from source.
Hi All, I think this solution is highly creative. Thanks for sharing it, Sid, you just made my day! I've got some projects on the back burner that I'm going to try this on. Before I do, I have to ask you if there are any downsides? Have you had occasions where this procedure has just gone horribly wrong? Or is it actually as straightforward as it appears?
