Package: checkinstall Version: 1.6.3 checkinstall 1.6.3 does not generate .deb file
The cause is: TRANSLATE=1 is set in /etc/checkinstallrc With this setting checkinstall does not actually touching your system, therefore it does not generate .deb file. I read following patch in the source package. 0002-Change-default-configuration.patch I think: -------- # Are we going to use filesystem translation? -TRANSLATE=1 +TRANSLATE=1 -------- should be: -------- # Are we going to use filesystem translation? -TRANSLATE=1 +TRANSLATE=0 -------- Add "--fstrans=0" option can be workaround. However it is inconvenient.
