Checkinstall has been dropped from openSUSE because it doesn't work anymore. Checkinstall's trick is to load a library via LD_PRELOAD that redirects all functions dealing with files. Now for installing a package you need to be root and for programs running with root privileges the dynamic loader ignores LD_PRELOAD as this would otherwise be a huge security problem.
So checkinstall has become useless and was therefore dropped.
This is very, very bad news. :-/ What are we supposed to use now? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
