Python3 with setuptools fails copying data if run by checkinstall
Running checkinstall for a python module which uses setuptools fails while running install_data with error: error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory on the first file it encounters. It is creating directories successfully however.
Before that it successfully performs prior steps like running install_lib, running build_py and copies files for those steps just fine, but not for running install_data.
Should I change my system python from version 3 to version 2.7 - it does successfully build a package without errors.
Why does python3 fail to copy files if run by checkinstall, while 2.7 does not fail?

Apparently a known bug with checkinstall: https://bugtrack.izto.org:4442/show_bug.cgi?id=33
I got python 3.7.1 to work by passing --fstrans=no as suggested there.
