I have used sudo checkinstall to install a package (after the usual ./configure). After successful installation it asks me
Some of the files created by the installation are inside the home directory: /home
You probably don't want them to be included in the package.
Do you want me to list them? [n]:
If I now return y I get a long list of file names that I can scroll through until I eventually arrive at (END). At this point I don't know what to do. No combinations of keys that I could find prompted checkinstall to proceed to the next step. Utlimately I used ctrl + z to exit and reran the process. I then answered n to above question and it proceeded happily to ask me
Should I exclude them from the package? (Saying yes is a good idea) [n]:
as I would expect it to do. What is going wrong here, am I missing a command to get it to proceed after showing me the list? Or is this a bug?
I was confused when I ran into this as well. Press q to exit this list and finish the process.
