Public bug reported:
Packages built using Ubuntu's checkinstall on 64-bit systems default to
architecture x86_64, causing a mismatch when one attempts to install the
package ... this value must be changed manually by the user before
creating the package in order to make the package installable.
I've downloaded checkinstall-1.6.0 and added the following on line 1,153
of checkinstall:
# Fix Debian AMD64.
if [ "$CK_DEBIAN" = "1" ] && [ "$ARCHITECTURE" = "x86_64" ]; then
ARCHITECTURE="amd64"
fi
I copied-and-pasted from the code directly above it used to correct the
PowerPC architecture and just replaced ppc with x86_64 and PowerPC with
amd64. It seems to work. : )
