Package: coreutils Version: 5.2.1-2.1 Followup-For: Bug #339286 I'm having the same problem as the original poster. I'm on AMD64. coreutils 5.93-2 breaks checkinstall (more specifically, it breaks installwatch, which checkinstall calls). Downgrading to coreutils 5.2.1-2.1 makes the segmentation fault go away and checkinstall behaves normally.
