Packages missing from Extras - n900 - Newbie
I'm having a problem updating/installing from Maemo-Extras. More and more apps are showing a "problem" when I try to download them. They are missing various packages. It seems that the number of apps with a problem is increasing.
For example updating these gives these missing packages: WifiEye: missing "wireless-tools" Gonvert: missing "python2.5-qt4-network(4.7-maemo7)" and trying to install these gives these missing packages: Brain Party: missing "libgles1-sgx-img(>=0.20090218.51+0m5)" Extra Decoders Support: missing "gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-extra" I've tried searching google and these forums. I found some links, but nothing helped me. Links: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=55072 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46173 I bought my n900 around December, and I just reflashed it with the release of the latest firmware. I have only installed apps from the extras and Ovi catalogs after I reflashed it. I'm not very good with Linux, so please keep responses step by step, or link to a guide.

In Application Manager using the drop down by pressing "Application Manager", select "Application Catalogues" and make sure extras catalogue entry is as follows:
Address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ Distribution: fremantle-1.2 Components: free non-free. I think you have Distribution: set as just fremantle |
Re: Packages missing from Extras - n900 - Newbie
I thought you had it, but it was already set like that. I guess the updated firmware did it for me, because I know I didn't set it that way. I tried setting extras-testing like that, but I got a 404 not found error. So as it is now, and was before:
Catalog name: maemo.org Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ Dist.: fremantle-1.2 Components: free non-free (disabled not checked) maemo-testing looks similar: Address .../extras-testing/ Dist.:fremantle (adding 1.2 gives an error, I copy pasted it from extras to be sure I didn't typo it) I had hoped it would be a nice easy fix like that, but I guess its something else. Thanks, Jason |

Bump.
Noone knows why I have missing packages? |
Re: Packages missing from Extras - n900 - Newbie
Are the standard Nokia repositories (Nokia Applications & Nokia System Software Updates) configured properly and updating okay? wireless-tools should be in the Nokia Applications repository, as should libgles1-sgx-img.

In X term (known as the CLI or command line interface - it is opened from an icon) type:
Code:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list Code:
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./ |
Re: Packages missing from Extras - n900 - Newbie
it appears that they are not configured properly:
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./ deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/002 ./ deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/ ./ deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.2 free non-free deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free The second line is different. I have extras-testing enable for now in case the missing package were in there. I don't think I've downloaded anything from the repo though. thanks |

I dont know whether this will help you but try to run via x-term Code:
apt-get update then try Code:
apt-get autoclean FYI extras-testing and extras-devel DO NOT have 1.2 , only maemo.org was updated |
Re: Packages missing from Extras - n900 - Newbie
You need to be root, so
Code:
sudo apt-get update Assuming that is, that you have "rootsh" installed |

If I just do "sudo apt-get update" it asks me for a password, so I just did sudo gainroot, and I do have rootsh installed.
so apt-get update (as root): It "works" for a little bit, and leaves a list of directories, the last line says: Reading package lists... Done Apt-get upgrade gives this: Nokia-N900:~# apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: gonvert python2.5-qt4-common python2.5-qt4-core python2.5-qt4-gui python2.5-qt4-network python2.5-qt4-webkit wifieye The following packages will be upgraded: avahi-daemon hermes libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libavahi-core5 libavahi-glib1 python-xml python2.5 python2.5-minimal python2.5-sip4 11 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded. Need to get 4954kB of archives. After this operation, 438kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? I tell it Y, and hit enter. And it downloads and installs a bunch of stuff, which I copied to a text file, for reference. Then I run apt-get autoclean and get this: Nokia-N900:~# apt-get autoclean Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Nokia-N900:~# Now when I try to update those apps again: Gonvert is missing: python2.5-qt4-network(4.7-maemo7) and python2.5-qt4-webkit(4.7-maemo7) WifiEye works now. Extra Decoders works now. I could now install Brain Party if I wanted to. So python still isn't updating. |
