And the root cause, presumably in the hook library
/usr/lib/checkinstall[64]/installwatch.so, pre-loaded in the
installwatch script before running the install command passed into it:
# installwatch -t mkdir -p /usr/doc/test
INFO : Using a default root directory : /tmp/tmp.INhvkPHuIR
mkdir: canno
As the upstream bug is still unfixed and there's no Debian or Ubuntu fix
(other than not using the important fstrans=yes option), this is
unsurprisingly still a problem in Trusty and no doubt later versions
through to Yakkety.
Simple test:
# checkinstall -D --fstrans=yes mkdir -p /usr/doc/test
..

I encountered the same problem when installing LyX 1.6.8 today on Ubuntu

Running checkinstall with --fstrans=0 obviated the problem, though
perhaps that is not a permanent solution.

I don't think this can be called "fixed" as turning filesystem
translation off is really not a viable option. With it off, it's
impossible to create packages that install to /usr without root
privileges, and I certainly do not want to run checkinstall as root!
According to the checkinstall website
This has been fixed in checkinstall 1.6.1-8 (from Debian), by changing the
TRANSLATE default as suggested in previous comments above.
Marking "Fix released", since Jaunty has 1.6.1-8 now.
IMHO it would make sense to have a SRU (StableReleaseUpdate) for this, but
somebody else would have to get th
Why on earth hasn't this been fixed in neither Feisty, Hardy nor

Hi,
Can I suggest an easier solution that could be rolled out from the
