It could be a bug in checkinstall. In any case, after learning to build proper 
rpms and seeing  some packages built with checkinstall, I cannot recommend 
it.

Moreover, once the correct libraries are installed you can install all of 
scribus in your home directory and then delete it if package management is an 
issue.

E.g $home/bin/scribus12 and $home/bin/scribus13 allow you to run Scribus 1.2 
and 1.3.X in parallel without worrying about messing the the distro provided 
packages.
