Well, package dirs should be equal packagename-version and should not contain spaces. But I can confirm this bug in Lucid. Did a test with mediatomb: Downloaded sources using apt-get source mediatomb installed build-dep using apt-get build-dep mediatomb renamed the 'mediatomb-version' folder to 'mediatomb version' autoreconf -i + ./configure checkinstall failed with the following error: Building file list...OK /usr/bin/checkinstall: line 1772: [: /home/andreas/bzr/mediatomb: binary operator expected /usr/bin/checkinstall: line 1875: cd: /home/andreas/bzr/mediatomb: No such file or directory
