Public bug reported:
checkinstall may damage the whole system to a degree that it would not
boot anymore. Instead, a kernel panic occurs at every boot. Steps to
reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 19.04 in a VirtualBox.
2. Execute the attached script with sudo.
The script will fail at checkinstall and return to the command line. On
the command line, most programs cannot be found anymore (e.g. “ls”). A
reboot ends in a kernel panic.
** Affects: checkinstall (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Attachment added: "install-emacs.sh"
