Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: checkinstall
I get the following debug information and abort, when I try to create a
new package with:
"checkinstall unsermake install"
#####

This worked with the OLD checkinstall version in Dapper (the newest
checkinstall version for Dapper stopped also correct work).
The strange thing:
The indicated directory EXISTS. But somehow the program doesn't find it.
My system is a fresh Edgy install with pure *.deb based system setup.
Checkinstall is version: 1.6.0-2ubuntu1 from universe/admin
Is it possible, that I'm missing any python helper package? Or should I
reconfigure some packages or define suitable alternatives? Maybe it
works only with some special python versions?
This happens in all following call scenarios:
+ KDE _user_ session with "sudo checkinstall unsermake install"
+ KDE konsole with calling "su" before --> calling checkinstall in super user
mode with "checkinstall unsermake install"
+ console mode (no X11) with direct login as "root" --> calling directly
"checkinstall unsermake install"
I did this to avoid any problems that might be caused by old .dot files from my
old $HOME which is containing config files from very old OS versions.
But the "/root" account is fresh, so that the problem shouldn't be caused by
old .dot-files.
I will have to switch back to the last working checkinstall version
1.5.3 right now.
Thanks,
Achim
