Package: checkinstall
Version: 1.6.1-5
Severity: wishlist
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Usertags: origin-ubuntu intrepid ubuntu-patch
Hi,
If the user has an alias defined for "which", then it can cause
checkinstall to fail. Using the absolute path to "which" ensures
that this doesn't happen. The following patch is used in Ubuntu
to provide this behaviour. Please consider applying it.
Thanks,
James
