Fine work.
That's been around a long time.
There should be some sort of award for this.
I love one-liners myself.
Welcome to the forum.
This has been broken for a while, maybe nobody has reported it?
When you go to Menu>Preferences>Install Components and try to install something, nothing happens.
Today I decided to look into it, and found that the problem is actually in /usr/sbin/checkinstall.
This patch fixes it (at least for me):
These are the contents of the patch file for those interested, only one line is changed:Code:# wget -O - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17126237/checkinstall.patch | patch -p0

Welcome to the forum.
Thanks for finding this! I totally missed it, probably because checkinstall worked "accidentially" with german locales, since the $TITLE contains a single word there and this fixes the wrong syntax, too, while in the english version, I had used two words for the title. Your solution is the corretco one.
I also will also replace Xdialog by zenity in all scripts soon, since Xdialog is keeping the old gtk1 libs installed and has broken fonts when english locales are set, the "digital" fonts were NOT intentional, I have to admit it now.
Glad I could help
@utu Thanks for the welcome.
