I'm trying to install sip for pyqt and trying to get checkinstall to work. But it keeps saying
Installing Debian package... FAILED!
This is what's in the log file:
(Reading database ... 191312 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../sip_4.16.3-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking sip (4.16.3-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /home/user/sip-4.16.3/sip_4.16.3-1_amd64.deb (--install):

dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing: /home/user/sip-4.16.3/sip_4.16.3-1_amd64.deb
Anyone know how I can fix this and get it to work? I can't find anything on what to do to fix this.. It looks like sip was installed successfully - as I can check the version number.
There also seems to be a deb file in the sip-4.16.3 folder. But when I try to install or remove, I get
dpkg: error processing archive sip_4.16.3-1_amd64.deb (--install):
