Bug Description

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 (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.
