The last old-style easy-chroot package is version 0.1.9

The first new-style package (that actually built ) is 0.2.1-1diablo3

Okay, I updated to devmapper 1.02.27-maemo2, if you have a 0.1.9 lying around you can try and see whether this helps

I wanted to quickly share how your Easy Debian application really helped me.

One day I began to experience difficulties in downloading files. The problem got much worse, until I couldn't use this very important functionality at all. And nothing I could try worked! Since I use my N810 to download work docs from Exchange, I was in trouble and ready to reformat my entire device.

Fragos and silvermountain suggested that I delete the .swap file. I looked around, read up on how to find and delete it (file manager wouldn't help), then instantly thought of your Easy Debian package's Lightweight Desktop Environment.

I went in, figured out how to "see" hidden files (much like Windows, which helped) and zeroed in on .swap. After it was gone, my downloads worked again!

Thanks again for your Easy Debian package. You've added true desktop functionality to an (unfortunately) aging device.

If you want to roll back to the old version of easy-chroot, so you can test installing everything again, a simple

apt-get install easy-chroot=0.1.9

should do the trick.

Stand by, this might be a completely unrelated error, sounds more like the rules file being created in a postinst or other script and not removed in a postrm, and then you removing the package and installing it again. You can confirm this by deleting the file in question manually and then (re)trying to install.

after a couple of days of use, i wanted to let you know that this has been working well. oo seems to boot faster, but opening docs takes just as long. iceweasel seems to be incredibly speedy (using that right now). so far, only java seems to crash this browser. nice job and thank you!

This may be an obvious question but can Easy Debian be installed on Nokia N900 (Maemo 5)? I don't see it in the Fremantle repos and I'm not sure if I should/can use repos from older Maemo versions.

The latest upgrade of easy-chroot failed with this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
easy-chroot: Depends: dmsetup but it is not installed

This was not fixable by:

Nokia-N810-36-5:~# apt-get -f install dmsetup

The following NEW packages will be installed:

A workaround (thanks to cehteh in #maemo on irc.freenode.net) to this problem is:

Nokia-N810-36-5:~# touch /etc/udev/rules.d/65_dmsetup.rules

Then try apt-get install dmsetup and then apt-get install easy-deb-chroot as seen below:
