checkinstall and problem with resident packages



Dear checkinstall users & developers,

My system is a Ubuntu Feisty, with the current version of checkinstall
(1.6.1). 
I usually don't have any problem compiling and installing from sources
many programs. But today I have...

I try to install Qgis, a kind of frontend set of plugins for Grass (the
well known free geographic information system). Anyway, I download the
sources, untar them, then correctly configure and make.
When I launch checkinstall, it works fine, telling me the installation
is successful, then creates the debian package. But it fails installing
this package :
the error message warns about the file
/usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/include/grass/Vect.h
that cannot be overwritten, depending from the package grass-6.3

Of course the make install procedure doesn't deal with that file, it
only appears in the checkinstall...

I tried to bypass this file and related ones in the same directory
launching :
sudo checkinstall --exclude=/usr/local/grass-6.3.cvs/include/grass/

unfortunately the same error occurs for other related packages (i.e.
gdal-1.4), and lately checkinstall even tries to
overwrite /usr/bin/cmake, and 
/usr/bin/ccmake !!

Could you help me solve this problem ?

Thank you, have a good week end,


Vincent
