Package: checkinstall
Version: 1.6.2-4
Severity: important
If a make install step does a mkdir -p that needs to create multiple
directories, it fails, every time. This breaks using checkinstall with
quite a lot of packages.
Demonstrating this needs only a 2 line Makefile as a "package":
install:
mkdir -p /usr/local/bug/bug/bug
The resulting error:
========================= Installation results ===========================
mkdir -p /usr/local/bug/bug/bug
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/bug': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
As with prior instances of similar bugs (at least similar symptomatically),
this can be worked around by using --fstrans=no.
