NITdoid pre-install problems(apt-get problems)
 

hello guys,

I'm trying to install NITDROID on my n900, but i'm having a problem with dependencies , below is the log :

Nokia-N900-02-8:~# apt-get install nitdroid-installer
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
fmrdsnotify: Depends: qt4-homescreen-loader but it is not going to be installed
irwi: Depends: qt4-homescreen-loader but it is not going to be installed
nitdroid-installer: Depends: multiboot (>= 0.2.10) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: multiboot-kernel-maemo (>= 0.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: bzip2 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

so i tried to run: apt-get install -f

any ideas how to fix this? and yes i've done my homework and searched holy-maemo forums with no luck.

Thanks !

I think it's pretty clear:
You have to install those packages. I have never tried NITDroid but the errors seem very clear and specific to me.

i tried to install them manually , below is the log :

this "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) " is haunting me !

Re: NITdoid pre-install problems(apt-get problems)
 

It seems you already have that package, but with a different name. Also:

You should try that apt-get autoremove first.

Re: NITdoid pre-install problems(apt-get problems)
 

Wow that's a total mess.

It seems you have partially installed both qt4-maemo5-homescreen-loader and qt4-homescreen-loader. It's the very same package but with two different names.

I'd try to (forcelly) remove both using dpkg, and then try to do the installation.

Re: NITdoid pre-install problems(apt-get problems)
 

are you sure you have pr 1.2 installed?

Re: NITdoid pre-install problems(apt-get problems)
 

are all the repositories active? if so i would try removing anything that reports an error then re-install.

Re: NITdoid pre-install problems(apt-get problems)

Re: NITdoid pre-install problems(apt-get problems)
