[Bug 1304760] [NEW] checkinstall fails to add files to dpkg conffiles

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

checkinstall 1.6.2-3ubuntu1 has a command like this to create conffiles:

find -L $BUILD_DIR/etc -type f 2> /dev/null | sed -e "s,$BUILD_DIR,," | \
        > $BUILD_DIR/DEBIAN/conffiles

It is attempting to pipe and redirect the output, resulting in an empty
conffiles.  Removing the second pipe

find -L $BUILD_DIR/etc -type f 2> /dev/null | sed -e "s,$BUILD_DIR,," \
        > $BUILD_DIR/DEBIAN/conffiles

correctly creates the conffiles file.
