Thanks, Colin. It is strange that I have two rc files:
# locate checkinstallrc /usr/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc~ /usr/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc /usr/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc-dist /usr/local/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc~ /usr/local/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc
Jeff Vian explained that some "would likely have been installed by an rpm," and some "likely installed by compiling."
Paul replied:
I have no remembrance of having ever compiling checkinstall. I suspect that yum may have incorrectly removed older versions of checkinstall.
Well, there's always
rpm -qf /usr/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc \ /usr/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc-dist \ /usr/local/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc
(the \ has to come right at the end of the line) to see whether they come from RPMS and, if so, which.
Thanks, James. Jeff is right as
# rpm -qf /usr/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc /usr/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc-dist /usr/local/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc checkinstall-1.6.0-2.2.fc4.rf checkinstall-1.6.0-2.2.fc4.rf file /usr/local/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc is not owned by any package #
