Yes, I got this one for this purpose. Might work for a single program doing "sudo checkinstall make install". If I have gotten that far, then obviously the dependencies have been met. Says nothing as to what the package "provides". I want to use it on something more involved like kde3.5 or qt3 (i.e., apt-get just removed by old libqt-mt-dev and leaves me no way of getting it back. Easy enough to compile my own and the "-dev" is implicit. Works, BUT apt does not know it is there. These packages or their components are made by [sudo] make install which does the whole job from download to configure to make and install. Can checkinstall handle this? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
