Package: checkinstall Version: 1.6.1-8 Severity: normal Tags: patch When building packages on Debian, checkinstall ignores the --arch argument and resets the architecture to the architecture of the system on which it is running. This can be fixed by moving the "fi" from line 1145 to line 1153, as below. Greetings, Mike
