checkinstall version1.6.1のバグらしい。

# rpm -Uvh --nomd5 checkinstall-1.6.1-1.x86_64.rpm

で成功

# rpm -qa | grep checkinstall
checkinstall-1.6.1-1

ちなみに、rpmbuildがないと↓みたいなエラーになったりする。

*** The "rpmbuild" program is not in your PATH!
*** RPM package creation aborted

なのでrpmbuildはインストールしておく。yumなら

# yum install rpm-build
