Assuming you have the repositories set and enabled the easiest and quickest way is by running on x-terminal as root:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install libqtm-contacts mycontacts

Option #1: use application manager (extras version)
Just start application manager, hit the update button, select "download" and find mycontacts. It is by far the easiest way and it will install all the missing dependencies (libqtm-contacts). The one downside is that it will install an old version but should be your first attempt anyway.

Option #2: use application manager but install the latest version
You will need to enable extras-testing or extras-devel on the application manager and follow the same steps of option #1.

Option #3: apt-get
1. using the application manager install "rootsh"
2. start the x-terminal (you will find an icon for it on the applications menu)
3. type each one of the lines on the code section bellow followed by the enter key:

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install libqtm-contacts mycontacts

The option #3 will install the old version or the latest version depending on what repositories you have enabled. The latest version it is not on extras yet so you can only install it if you have extras-testing or extras-devel enabled during the the process.

After you get libqtm-contacts installed using any of the 3 options you should be able to download and install the latest deb file as described by eitama earlier on this thread (even if you have disabled the extras-testing and extras-devel).

Hope this helps.

1) Reading package list is successful
2) reading state information is successful

but in the end it says, "Could;nt find package my contacts"

I ran the first option also, but mycontacts is not there in the list of App Managers yet

Please repeat the process but replace the last line with:

Code:

apt-get install libqtm-contacts

If it works you should be able to install mycontacts using the deb package you downloaded by double clicking on it on the file manager. If it fails we will know for sure that there is a problem with your "repositories" settings/application manager.

Mine looks like this:

Code:

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
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free

I assume (hope) we will spot something odd with yours.

Hi, I have tried following the steps above but when I do the revised third step nothing happens, should a download launch or is the file automatically saved ?
