Package: checkinstall Version: 1.6.0-1 Severity: wishlist If checkinstall is used to build a package of a kernel module like kqemu, it will produce a deb that contains /lib/modules/uname -r/modules.dep etc along with the kernel modules. This is because "make install" does a depmod -a. So the deb conflicts with the kernel deb. Easiest fix currently is to comment out that depmod call, but that's sorta annoying and the resulting package doesn't run depmod when it's installed.
Maybe checkinstall could check to see if modules.dep is included and if so de-include it and the other files depmod touches, and add a proper call to depmod to the package's postinst script? This would make it really easy to make kernel module packages with it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages checkinstall depends on: ii file 4.17-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii findutils 4.2.27-3 utilities for finding files--find, ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries checkinstall recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
