Package: checkinstall
Version: 1.6.1-5
Severity: normal


I last used checkinstall on 2008-01-18 on C-Kermit from
ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/test/tar/x.tar.gz with an early release of
gcc-4.3.

Today when I attempted to run it, both under 2.6.24 and 2.6.23 kernels,
checkinstall deleted the /usr/bin/kermit from my previous successful
checkinstall run then failed, as if the checkinstall program failed to
work in a chrooted environment.

If you can suggest any debugging tips I will try them.

Could you mail the full log of the process along with the command line used?
victoria:/home/amarsh04/kermit-src# checkinstall -d 2 -D make install

After this, the kermit binary installed when I last successfully ran checkinstall is gone )-:.

Do you need an strace of the process, or anything further? The C-Kermit makefile is 360 k, so it might be better grabbing it from ftp://ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/test/tar/x.tar.gz (2 MiB full source archive) than attaching it.
