Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
carman: Depends: carmand-panel (>= 0.7) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: carmand (>= 0.7) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: carman-location-wrapper (>= 0.7) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: carman-ui (>= 0.7) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
/home/user #
any help ?
regards
juster
Anyone kind enough to advise on how to get around this?
Thanks in advance!

I did an Apt-get install Carman using root.. came back to say that carman: Depends: Carman-ui (>= 0.7-pre-alpha-1-1) but is not going to be installed. When you apt-get install carman-ui, says Depends: python2.5-efi-core (>= 0.9.9.050+svn38845-maemo1) but is not going to be installed. Also Depends: hildon-inf-ecore but is not going to be installed

Drove 1000km with N900 CarMan showing gauges over the weekend, seemed to work fine. Had to drive and had the family with me so didn't play with it too much while driving.
N900's small screen would benefit from a clearer theme, those red-on-red "LED" digits and gauge labels are too difficult to see if the device is on the dashboard or in a phone holder. Also a portrait mode would be nice as many users have a vertical phone holder on their dashboards if also other family members need to attach phones.
GPS did actually work fine after reboot, it's just not listed in the list of found GPS (bluetooth actually) devices. A couple of times the OBD device wasn't connected at the first try but worked fine after found.
Looks very good, as far as I could see it works just like with N8x0.
Like most, using the DealExtreme adapter, works fine and should arrive in a couple of weeks to your local post office, shipping free. The case can be cut open with a sharp knife, after that the plug was maybe 12mm lower and fitted nicely under the fusebox cover of my car. Not that it would be recommended to leave a device that can be used to wirelessly control your car attached all the time

Also, my N900 gets confused with the internal GPS status after I close Carman. Any else getting this?
Another strange thing, when I exit Carman my cpu seems locked at max mhz (700 in my case).

I have the same thing.
After I have used Carman, battery drains quite fast (locked cpu eating all power?)
I don't use GPS for now, because after Carman use had to reboot my N900 to lose GPS locking.
