|    checkinstall DEB creation and error 14.0    |
|    25 Sep 16 19:45:58    |
      Any one know how to fix this type of error when using checkinstall to create       DEB's (I am not really interested in getting in to a debate on "proper" DEB       creation since that requires some sort of PhD in DEB'ology. Thanks.)                     dpkg-deb: error: parsing file '/var/tmp/tmp.Otb8bYTZPp/package/DEBIAN/control'       near line 8 package 'xxxxxxx':        `Depends' field, syntax error after reference to package `perl'              I am thinking that ` is the problem when it needs to be ' so it can find the       standard perl package....              Where to find this in the stuff this is compiling to fix, as checkinstall       nukes the tmp dir on exit...               * Origin: news://news.wpusa.dynip.com | acct req'd to post (1:3634/12)    |
