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.

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.

Thanks!

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

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

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
You should get the following output:
Code:
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./ 
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0 ./ 
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/ ./ 
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.2 free non-free
That is to confirm that you have the repositories enabled. If the first 2 are not there then something is very wrong with your setup (as Rob1n alluded) and you need to enter the details into Application Manager.

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

Second line looks fine 002 basically means you have US version , threre is another problem

I dont know whether this will help you but try to run via x-term

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
see what errors/messages you get

then try

Code:
apt-get autoclean
try to disable all repos and enable them one by one

FYI extras-testing and extras-devel DO NOT have 1.2 , only maemo.org was updated

You need to be root, so

Code:
sudo apt-get update
etc

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.
