Hi Dave & Tony and all,

Of course I used patchadd to install my patsches butinternally it seems
to execute pkgadd.

Making the directory readable for nobody and copying the package
to /tmp didn't solve the problem.

I executed the chekcinstall manually and got the following
output :

./checkinstall: .: filename argument required
.: usage: . filename
PaTcH_MsG 8 Version of is not installed on this system.

Does anyone know to which package this PaTcH_MsG belongs and where to
find it ?

Best wishes,

Daniel
