Packages in extras-devel not found by apt
 
I think i must be doing something stupid here, hopefully someone can set me straight.

I've tried to install two packages from extras-devel recently: dig and syncevolution.

On both occasions, I enabled extras-devel in the app manager, ran apt-get update and then tried to install... and the packages weren't found. I'm pretty sure they exist because I can find them by browsing online, for example:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/dig/

After the failed attempts I disabled extras-devel again.

What am I doing wrong? :/

Not sure... Did you try aptitude?

For me, the package looks atypical because "dig" is inside b/bind9, not d.
Anyway, try to open the direct link in MicroB (excellent at handling MIME types, unlike Fennec), then tell it to open the file with App Manager, and you will get it installed, without having to enable extras-devel.

Thank you. Best wishes.

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately when I try that I get a message about it being an incompatible application package :(

I would check it again if extras-devel is really enabled. I have it disabled in HAM but enabled in FAM and you can see different results from apt and fapt:

Well that's interesting! I didn't realise there are two application managers, very handy :)

I was wrong before, I had CSSU community-devel enabled, not extras-devel!

Thanks for helping me with all these noob quesitons ;)

Now I've manually added that repo to FAM, and I managed to download syncevolution. Now all I need to do is figure out how to sync contacts and calendar with owncloud 7...

Congratulations for some example how to configure syncevolution with owncloud you can have a look at this script.

Quote:
#!/bin/bash
# Specify your username, password, target name for sync ui, as well
# as the URLs to access your calendar and contacts on your owncloud
# server.

user=myuser
pass=mysecret
target=owncloud
calurl=https://owncloud.example.com/remote.php/caldav/calendars/pos/owncloud900
cardurl=https://owncloud.example.com/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/pos/owncloud-n900

# Create the initial configuration file for the server
syncevolution --configure --template webdav username=$user password=$pass SSLVerifyServer=0 target-config@$target

# Create the initial configuration file for the calendar on the server
syncevolution --configure database=$calurl backend=caldav target-config@$target calendar

# Create the initial configuration file for the contacts on the server
syncevolution --configure database=$cardurl backend=carddav target-config@$target contacts

# Create the entry for syncevolution-frontend - NOTE: NO username and password here.
syncevolution --configure --template SyncEvolution_Client sync=none syncURL=local://@$target username= password= $target

# Configure the relation between the local calendar and the remote calendar
syncevolution --configure sync=two-way backend=calendar database=N900 $target calendar

# Configure the relation between the local addressbook and the remote contacts
syncevolution --configure sync=two-way backend=contacts database=file:///home/user/.osso-abook/db $target contacts

echo The following commands should show the remote content.
echo syncevolution --print-items target-config@$target calendar
echo syncevolution --print-items target-config@$target contacts
echo.
echo The following command should be used initially to sync existing data
echo syncevolution --sync slow $target
echo.
echo The following command should be used for regular syncs
echo syncevolution $target
echo.
