I have the same problem, trying to produce a deb for the scientific program Gwyddion (gwyddion.net). doing a make install works though. Using the deb from the checkinstall website, works too. -- checkinstall cannot install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had a similar problem installing gnuplot 4.2 on Feisty: (Reading database ... 132385 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking gnuplot (from .../gnuplot_4.2.0-1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /home/***/Sources/gnuplot4.2/gnuplot-4.2.0/gnuplot_4.2.0-1_i386.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/texmf/ls-R', which is also in package tex-common Errors were encountered while processing: /home/***/Sources/gnuplot4.2/gnuplot-4.2.0/gnuplot_4.2.0-1_i386.deb /var/tmp/XPOHLAMWPQVpCeHYohHVX/dpkginstall.log (END) From a newbie point of view, and following the directions in http://whiterosecreations.nl/linux/index.php (an explanation is offered there) i did: $ sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i /home/***/Sources/gnuplot4.2/gnuplot-4.2.0/gnuplot_4.2.0-1_i386.deb $ auto-apt run ./configure $ make $ sudo checkinstall -D It worked for me, hope it helps. -- checkinstall cannot install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 115107] Re: checkinstall cannot install
I have also experienced this exact problem when trying to build a newer version of Filelight (1.0 is not in the repositories yet) and xsidplay (to get libsidplay2 support). I get failures upon trying to overwrite /bin/ld. Upon examination of the filelight .deb, I noticed that it also included all the files the above poster listed, and a couple of files from my home directory in the .qt configuration settings. I have no idea why it decided it needed to do that either. Most of these extraneous files, such as /usr/bin/ld, had zero size. Now, in the case of xsidplay I've done it often enough I actually made a script to do most of it for me. This script was unaltered, and worked before but does not now. In the case of Filelight, I downloaded the new source and the source deb currently in the repositories (from which I copied the debian/ folder) and ran ./configure and then checkinstall -D. The configure appeared to work perfectly. -- checkinstall cannot install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
