This bug was fixed in the package checkinstall - 1.7.0-1
---------------
checkinstall (1.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release, now maintained at
https://github.com/ssgelm/checkinstall
- A mode set on a symlink no longer reaches the file it points at.
fchmodat() dropped AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, so a binary installed 755 came
out of the package writable by anyone, and a link extracted before its
target aborted the install (LP: #1861281)
- Keep names that contain consecutive spaces. The file list was carried
as space separated words, so such a name came back with one space and
the file was dropped from the package (LP: #1953239)
- Build on alpha, where glibc is libc.so.6.1
* Drop 38 patches, all now in the upstream release
* Update copyright file with correct licenses and copyrights
* Build the manpages from upstream's SGML rather than the copies
in debian/
* Bump debhelper compat to 14
