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
The above would likely have been installed by an rpm.
/usr/local/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc~ /usr/local/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc
This one likely installed by compiling.
Having 2 different versions of _anything_ installed is asking for trouble to pop up when least expected.
Why did you compile checkinstall when it is available as rpm?
I have no remembrance of having ever compiling checkinstall. I suspect that yum may have incorrectly removed older versions of checkinstall.
