[Bug 243132] Re: Please merge checkinstall 1.6.1-6 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package checkinstall - 1.6.1-7ubuntu1

---------------
checkinstall (1.6.1-7ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes (LP: #243132):
    - Use /usr/bin/which instead of which.
    - add make to Depends, checkinstall doesn't work without it.
    - Modify Maintainer value to match Debian-Maintainer-Field Spec

checkinstall (1.6.1-7) unstable; urgency=high

  * Use mktemp instead of awk magic to create temporary directories.
    The original implementation had a race condition that allowed for a
    symlink attack. This is security related, so set urgency to high.

checkinstall (1.6.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Use the new Vcs-* fields.
  * Do not ship empty directories.
  * Use $(MAKE) instead of make in the makefile
  * Support Provides: field in debian.
  * Depend on dpkg-dev, since we use dpkg-architecture
    (Closes: #484828)
  * Move url to the Homepage field.
  * Convert debian/copyright to UTF-8.
  * Bump standards version to 3.8.0 (no changes needed).
