Install problem using .deb package

[gordonfreeman]

Hi,

I'm trying to install nginx 0.8.54 on Debian Squeeze. It builds
successfully, and I've created a .deb package using checkinstall.

However when I try to install the package I run into an error:

[code]
# dpkg -i nginx_90.8.54-1_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 38153 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking nginx (from nginx_90.8.54-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing nginx_90.8.54-1_i386.deb (--install):
 unable to create `/etc/nginx/uwsgi_params.default.dpkg-new' (while
processing `./etc/nginx/uwsgi_params.default'): No such file or
directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 nginx_90.8.54-1_i386.deb
[/code]

It looks like it can't find the file
[code]./etc/nginx/uwsgi_params.default[/code] inside the .deb package,
but it is there (I gave the package a way high version number
(90.0.8.54) is so apt won't overwrite it):

I don't know how to fix this, is anyone able to help me out?

Thanks,
Gordon
