** Description changed:

  I am using Ubuntu 12.10, attempting to run netkit-ntalk version 0.17-15.
  
- In trying to solve a different issue with this program (listed at the
- end), I came upon a suggestion to download the source and compile it
- myself then install from that. I've compiled it fine,  but when I run
- sudo checkinstall I get this error:
+ In trying to solve a different issue with this program (now solved by
+ other means), I came upon a suggestion to download the source and
+ compile it myself then install from that. I've compiled it fine,  but
+ when I run sudo checkinstall I get this error:
  
  install: target `/usr/man/man1/' is not a directory: No such file or
  directory
  
  As far as I can tell this directory hasn't been used since Ubuntu 8.04,
  and is currently (as of 12.10) located at /usr/share/man/man1/ instead.
- 
- Unrelated to that error (I assume), whenever I try to run 'talk' I get
- this error:
- 
- [ Error on write to talk daemon: Operation not permitted. Press any
- key... ]
- 
- I cannot find any pages on Google that describe this error or any
- possible solutions.
