checkinstall may damage the whole system to a degree that it would not boot anymore. Instead, a kernel panic occurs at every boot. Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 19.04 in a VirtualBox.
2. Execute the attached script.
The script will fail at checkinstall and return to the command line. On the command line, most programs cannot be found anymore (e.g. “ls”). A reboot ends in a kernel panic. |
