Help to install Python2.5 on N800

[backd00r]

Hi!

I'm trying to install Python2.5-runtime on the N800, but I receive this error:

Unable to install python2.5-runtime
Missing: libbluetooth1(>=2.19)

Can some one help me!

Regards

I am having the same problem. I located and tried to install libbluetooth1 but it also will not install - says it is not for this package if I recall.

Okay, people, thanks to fellow poster RogerS, I managed to install Python 2.5 on my N800. Here's what I did:

I went to the Python page: http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/ and clicked on the link to the Bora installer (assuming everyone in this thread has a N800), but instead of installing, I clicked on "save" and saved the installation file on my memory card.

I then did a lot of superfluous things, but the thing you should do, is go into the Application Manager and delete the "bora-extras" repository (http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/ bora user) from the catalogue list (that is, if you have that repository in your list).

Next, open the file manager and find the installation file (hopefully you didn't bury it way deep into the directory tree), "python2.5-runtime", and double-click it. The application manager will ask you if it can add the bora-extras repository; say "yes". If all goes as it went here, you should get the standard application installation dialogs from now on, ending with the near-climactic finale of your N800 telling you that Python 2.5 is now installed.

Jeeezuz Aich Kryssss... Did I mention it went just fine on my 770 ? :-)

(sorry Karel - I did try to resist, I promise I did... :)

Hey, my egg timer works. You can smirk all you want, I'm as happy as a worm in an apple. :D

No joy. It added 3 other missing packages when I did that: libglade2-0, libsdl-ttf2.0-0, and libgdbm3.

I'm going to try flashing it to the latest firmware now that I know the OS X flasher application will work.

Splendid. But I don't believe it is safe to eat eggs in Thailand these days :-)

Ah crap. I thought I had it. Sorry.

I added the Mistral and extras repositories and later, installed the latest version of MaemoMapper and presto - suddenly Pyhton 2.5 was able to install.
I am not sure which of these two actions provided access to the missing libbluetooth file but nothing else had changed and I suspect it was the adding the repositories.
If you don't get it working let me know and I will post the exact repositories I have installed.

Karel:

It worked for me, but I had to double-click the runtime in the application manager. Before deleting the bora extras catalog nothing else was successful in helping me install the python runtime. After installing it, I finally got sdict installed.

Thanks for the tip.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions? I tried the above suggestions and it still can't find some dependencies- libglade2-0, libsdl-ttf2.0-0, and libgdbm3.

Thanks much

Here's what worked for me:
Application manager->Tools->Application catalog->extras->details

"Web address:" was "http://repository.maemo.org/extras". I removed "extras" from the URL and refreshed the applications list. This info I obtained from this page...
http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/ in the "Installation" paragraph. Red pill mode has to be on I believe.

Good luck

Please count me also on the list of who wasted a lot of time installing python 2.5, I post these few lines here since they maybe clarify a bit, it seems the python-bluez 2.5 package is broken and requires libbluetooth1 that was on mistral while on bora is libbluetooth2.

So, in order to install 2.5 on bora, you need to add mistral repository, this is why removing trailing extra, i.e. enabling normal mistral repository, solved the problem.

See the line that starts with 500 below

/ # apt-cache policy libbluetooth1
