Public bug reported: Edgy - checkinstall 1.6.0-2ubuntu1 /etc/checkinstall
Dapper - checkinstall 1.5.3-3ubuntu2 /etc/checkinstall Dapper backport - checkinstall 1.6.0-2ubuntu1~dapper1 2 config files /etc/checkinstall /etc/checkinstallrc Debian sid - checkinstall 1.6.0-2 /etc/checkinstallrc The upstream source's Makefile (for both 1.5.3 and 1.6.0) puts them in /usr/local/lib/checkinstall. The man page lists /etc/checkinstallrc as the config file. Note I have the dapper backport installed. I checked the locations of the config files in the other packages via their list-of-files page in the online package database. It looks like the config file changed names from /etc/checkinstall in 1.5.3 to /etc/checkinstallrc in 1.6.0 in the debian packages. ** Affects: checkinstall (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Inconsistent config files https://launchpad.net/bugs/59802 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
