2010-06-29 16:19:48 Andreas Noteng description Binary package hint: checkinstall checkinstall-1.6.2 can fail package creation because of inability to create a new directory and or dir/subdir. It doesn't appear to be that it can't at all, but in most cases it will fail. Am attaching a simple case - building static x264 where checkinstalled failed as such "install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig': No such file or directory" After manually creating /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig the .deb creation was successful Have another Ex. on other pc where it failed to create 5 out of 9 or 10 dir/subdir, though it did create some of them..
