Hi, I have a smallish problem with checkinstall in SuSE 9.3. First, the .spec file gets wrong contens in the "Requires" field; this is what I get: Provides: xine-ui Requires: -,/bin/sh It doesn't matter what I compile, the "requires" field always gets "-,/bin/sh". What I do then is configured it so that it always asks me to edit the .spec file, and I use that chance to remove the line; else, the rpm will not install. The other problem is that, by the end of the "make compile" part, the console font of the terminal where I run it gets corrupted, so that it "reads" like this (some lines got wrapped): +++------start screen copy ----------------------------------- You requested to review the .spec file for this package. Now you'll have the chance to review and optionally modify this file.

Clues on how to solve these two "glitches"? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
