Checkinstall problem

[Just17]

I attempted to build Grub 2 for some testing this morning, and as is my usual for such things tried to use checkinstall to generate an RPM. Unfortunately it failed .....  the first time in many years ......  the output .....

Code: [Select]

Building target platforms: i386
Building for target i386
Processing files: grub2-1.99-1.i386
error: File not found: /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/grub2-1.99-1.i386/usr
error: File not found: /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/grub2-1.99-1.i386/usr/local

error: File not found: /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/grub2-1.99-1.i386/usr/local/bin/grub-bin2h
Anyone got ideas what I might need to do?  Thanks.



regards.

I tried a different app build, just in case there was anything about the Grub 2 source or something that affected the checkinstall working. I tried building this
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,93480.0.html
and had similar results.

Is it possible this has something to do with the update to the RPM version?

when I try to install checkinstall:

checkinstall:
 Depends: rpm-build

if I try to install rpm-build:

rpm-build:
 Depends: rpm (= 4.4.6-18pclos2007)
 Depends: rpm-mandriva-setup-build

rpm actually installed is rpm-4.8.1 ...

look like an update of rpm-build checkinstall is needed ...

rpm-build is the latest and is new in the repository .......  it seems that checkinstall needs to be updated to use it?

Glad to see I'm not the only one "out of sync" this evening 
It's rpm-build that has a dependency to rpm (= 4.4.6-18pclos2007)

We are seeing different things  

rpm-build here has rpm (=4.8.1-4pclos2011)

I do notice though that it also has a dependency

rpm-pclinuxos-setup-build (>=1.34)   whereas that package in this install is at  1.134-2pclos2011

Have you run aptupgrade?  I have ......

yes ... different view ... PM sent.
