Going off-topic in letter but not spirit: is there a sticky thread in the forum for identifying broken packages? There should be.

Hopefully with the new Hildon F. setup this kind of decision could be entertained.

RIP was fixed and one of PS emulators needs checking. Anyone?
But it's not critical until option names don't collide.

For the time being I'll edit this one's title and will add list to the first post.

Also, meld:
$ meld /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini MyDocs/backups/transitions_int_instant_3.ini
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/meld", line 93, in <module>
import meldapp
File "/usr/lib/meld/meldapp.py", line 29, in <module>
import gnomeglade
File "/usr/lib/meld/gnomeglade.py", line 23, in <module>
import gnome
ImportError: No module named gnome
feel free to contact the maintainer and post results

It could be as simple as a wrong dependency:
python-gnome2 vs. gnome-python (they are also conflicting packages). After installing gnome-python there is a gnome module. But meld is uninstalled in the process.

How exactly? Maybe it was the reason my status-menu won't start?

The reason I ask is I have the same Unknown file in QSettings (.config) but I haven't installed eithier of your two package you mention.
I suppose this is more related to the other thread and I will continue on there.

I can't find the post now but joerg_w mentioned in a thread some (three IIRC) broken packages, wifi-switcher was one. Something to do with not restarting the wlan driver properly.



Also ivgalvez was building a list of packages for promotion and demotion.

Packages to be removed/reported should include:-

maemoreactor - duplicate package reaction-face-off
simonknowsmaemo - duplicate package simonkm
midi-support?
netmon - randomly crashes, shows dbus errors before crash if run in terminal.

I am certain there are many more.



Check out my wiki page I started to make for contacting maintainers for promotion of stuck in Testing Apps.

I am pretty sure when we take control of the repo's fully this will be addressed, the issue is it's not easy to get your packages removed as a maintianer.

The best thing to do with broken packages is bump the [Announce] thread and/or e-mail maintainer if no luck report as DOA.
On bugzilla and/or wiki page?

I just noticed a sticky
"can't install some apps(or update)" :
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=48938

So let's collect only packages that install fine.

Gonvert works for me - already installed. Do you mean has installation issues? I think one should specify broadly where the issue lies...

tnx,

Ohh, just noticed int_ua's posting, so I assume it installs fine... sorry

Also it's a known fact glogarchive hasn't wored since PR1.2 there are multiple threads on it.

I hope it did not appear that I was challenging... as gonvert works for me and at least 1 other user I naturally wondered...

Regards,
