As the upstream bug is still unfixed and there's no Debian or Ubuntu fix (other than not using the important fstrans=yes option), this is unsurprisingly still a problem in Trusty and no doubt later versions through to Yakkety.

Its unclear what the solution to this bug is. The fstrans workaround seems to introduce regressions, and upstream's git repo seems inaccessible so its hard to say if its being addressed there.

This worked with the OLD checkinstall version in Dapper (the newest
checkinstall version for Dapper stopped also correct work).
The strange thing:
The indicated directory EXISTS. But somehow the program doesn't find it.
My system is a fresh Edgy install with pure *.deb based system setup.
Checkinstall is version: 1.6.0-2ubuntu1 from universe/admin
Is it possible, that I'm missing any python helper package? Or should
I reconfigure some packages or define suitable alternatives? Maybe it
works only with some special python versions?
This happens in all following call scenarios:
+ KDE _user_ session with sudo checkinstall unsermake install
+ KDE konsole with calling su before -- calling checkinstall in super user
mode with checkinstall unsermake install
+ console mode (no X11) with direct login as root -- calling directly
checkinstall unsermake install
I did this to avoid any problems that might be caused by old .dot files from
my old $HOME which is containing config files from very old OS versions.
But the /root account is fresh, so that the problem shouldn't be caused by
old .dot-files.
I will have to switch back to the last working checkinstall version
1.5.3 right now.
Thanks,
Achim

I don't think this can be called fixed as turning filesystem translation off is really not a viable option. With it off, it's impossible to create packages that install to /usr without root privileges, and I certainly do not want to run checkinstall as root!

[Bug 78455] Re: DEFECT in checkinstall: abort due to missing file or directory
Is checkinstall so unimportant, that nobody is reacting here? Or should I look for a KUBUNTU Bug-Tracking system, as my problem happens only with a KDE specific install call? Or are any bugs in universe area ignored? I do NOT get checkinstall unsermake install - the _standard_ install procedure for KDE program - to work on my Kubuntu Edgy box!! Thanks for anybody who can help here, Achim ** Summary changed: - checkinstall aborts due to missing file or directory + DEFECT in checkinstall: abort due to missing file or directory -- DEFECT in checkinstall: abort due to missing file or directory https://launchpad.net/bugs/78455 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
