Wish to create a deb file under Wayland

[Richard Sutton]

For years and years I have been building a homebank.deb file
for new releases using:

 >$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
 >$ make
 >$ sudo checkinstall --install=no

then, I can install the package with:
 >$ sudo dpkg --install homebank_5.8.6-1_amd64.deb

This worked fine all the way up to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Wayland).
Since then I can no longer build the deb file with checkinstall
due to the failure of checkinstall. However, the build runs
just fine on Ubuntu 22.04LTS or Mint22.

The problem appears to be with checkinstall, but, I'm wondering
if dependencies have changed for Wayland.

Do you have any insights? I know you have said that you develop on Mint.
What process do you use to build a deb file on Linux?
