Versione italiana: Checkinstall su Debian Etch
Checkinstall lacks on Debian Etch, but the solution is very simple.

Just install Checkinstall package from the Debian Lenny’s page (but choose the right architecture for you!).

Does not work

“checkinstall depends on libc6 (>= 2.7-1); however:
Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7.”

I get the same issues as kecsi, that or if I add Lenny to my apt.sources I get requests to upgrade waaay too many items. I also tried installing from the debian etch backports per this post:

which also wants to upgrade too many items.

@ lefty.crupps:
Maybe Lenny package’s dependences are too new for Etch, now; this article is quite old…
