Well, it's kind of blurry right now. Most references in the net say something about coreutils and possibly something about glibc-2.5, but no one mentions a concrete problem/function/function calling scheme that could be causing the issue.
Some people have reported success using checkinstall-1.5.3 which may suggest that the fstrans code is to blame.
I started looking into this only yesterday. I'll keep the list posted. If anyone has any info which can be of use, please share ;-) On Thu, 2 Aug 2007, Lawrence Toal wrote:
Aw, that's disappointing--can you shed some light on this? Posters on AOLS seem divided on weather or not version 1.6.1 works, or maybe 1.5.1 works better. Some say the "--fstrans=no" option solves their problems. Unfortunately, some shed more heat than light on such things. I'm guessing the checkinstall list has the straight story.
