用checkinstall生成tgz包时，有时doinst.sh会在root目录下生成一些无效的连接。游谁知道为什么吗？我用的是1.6beta3。谢谢！

it's a bug in checkinstall, that's why I gave it up and turned to slackware's own makepkg. it's not hard, usually you just need to do:
   make DESTDIR=/tmp/package-myprogram install
   cd /tmp/package-myprogram
   makepkg -l y -c n /tmp/myprogram-version-i386-1.tgz

Thanks. I use makepkg also, but really hope checkinstall can progress... look at their homepage, still not updated after a few months. sigh.

I use tar to make tgz pkg
eg:
# tar zcvf dillo-0.73-i18n-i586.tgz /usr/locale/bin/
# tar zcvf fvwm-2.6-cn-i586.tgz /usr/locale/bin/fvwm /usr/locale/etc/fvwm /usr/locale/lib/fvwm

if you use tar to create tgz packages, install the tgz and then look at the corresponding package file in /var/log/packages/, you will see the problem. that's why makepkg is a better choice.
