Package: checkinstall
Version: 1.6.1-7
Severity: normal
Hello,
I got the file permission problems when I tried to review the control file
before creating the debian package, which is built correctly though.
The errors are the similar whether I invoke checkinstall via sudo or as root.
My /etc/checkinstallrc is:
<checkinstallrc>
# Debug level
# 0: No debug
# 1: Keep all temp files except the package's files
# 2: Keep the package's files too
DEBUG=2
# Location of the "installwatch" program
INSTALLWATCH_PREFIX="/usr"
INSTALLWATCH=${INSTALLWATCH_PREFIX}/bin/installwatch
# Location of the makepkg program. "makepak" is the default, and is
# included with checkinstall. If you want to use Slackware's native "makepkg"
# then set this to "makepkg"
MAKEPKG=/sbin/makepkg
# makepkg optional flags. These are recommended if running a newer Slackware
# version: "-l y -c n"
MAKEPKG_FLAGS="-l y -c n"
# Is MAKEPKG running interactively? If so, you might want
# to see what it's doing:
SHOW_MAKEPKG=0
# Where will we keep our temp files?
BASE_TMP_DIR=/var/tmp ## Don't set this to /tmp or / !!
# Where to place the installed document files
