Re: How to downgrade stock twitter version?
 
you shouldn't do that. just hack /var/lib/dpkg/status harmattan package and remove twitter from depends.

Re: [Solved] How to downgrade stock twitter version?
 
as the above pic show, and I cant install any application, it always said incompatible with installed application. If I do apt-get -f install as it said in pic, will get this below.

Re: [Solved] How to downgrade stock twitter version?
 
mp-harmattan-001-pr is depends on = twitter 1.3.50, but I installed 1.3.51 from N950 package, so I get this problem.

To solve, just edit the /var/lib/dpkg/status, find the mp-harmattan-001-pr, in the line depend change twitter 1.3.50 to 1.3.51, then all problem gone

Twitter is forcing obsolescence on V1.0 of its API in a few weeks
I would suggest that this "update", is to make use of 1.1 API. would be surprised to see any real changes beyond that

So the last tinkering I did on my N9 was using inception to install the N950 Twitter update debs (those that wouldn't install on simple touch) - all went fine at first sight.

I continued using my N9 from day to day, though I realized that after that forced twitter update, all my passwords were reset and I had to reauth most of my accounts. Messages and contacts intact though.

Now today I tried updating Tweetian to 1.8.1 and it told me 'installation not possible - program incompatible with other installed program / software'

I tried uninstallint Tweetian manually, it told me 'uninstallation impossible - Tweetian cannot be removed'

So I tried other apps. All are locked.

I opened a terminal, went root and did apt-get update, then install -f to check if some dependencies were not configured properly or locked something up.

This is what I got:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:

After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Would you like to [Y / n] continue?
I am now asking myself: is my N9 potentially suicidal?

Does anyone around here think that there is hope for a fix w/o a reflash?

Did I p*ss of AEGIS too much?

I am kind of clueless at this stage.

Any input is highly welcome and thanks in advance!

[edit]

It seems mp-harmattan-001-pr depends on the former twitter version. No idea though what mp-harmattan-001-pr is. But it tells me on apt-get check that it needs a lower one than installed.

Quote:

Try 'apt-get-f install' to correct this.
The following packages have unmet dependencies-:
* mp-harmattan-001-pr: Depends: twitter (= 1.3.50 +0 m8) but 1.3.51 +0 m8 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try to use* -f.

Maybe you should try to incept-install back the default twitter client?

MoritzJT 2013-02-28 18:52
Re: Botched up Packages | Apt-get | No changes to packages allowed!
 
Assuming I wanted the old one back, which I don't... How would I do that?

Can't I just tell mp-harmattan-001-pr to shut up and stop complaining? Can I force it to ignore the version twitter has? I'd like to install other stuff and not have to deal with what someone thought to be appropriate for mp-harmattan-001-pr

That meta package mp-harmattan-001-pr seems to be PR1.3 if I'm not mistaken and it demands twitter to be the version that came with it. I now know why it complains. Any way to stop that? Any way to tell it to accept the new one and ignore that error, so I can use my N9 normally again?

Thanks for your input though!

You'd need to dpkg -P the newer twitter (if it's already installed) and apt-get install mp-harmattan-001-pr.

The problem is that mp-harmattan-001-pr is a meta-package depending on whatever Nokia wanted to have as default, including version numbers.

You could always (at least on the N900) remove mp-harmattan-001-pr and then just apt-get install every single package that has been marked for autoremoval (i.e. to mark it as automatically installed).

MoritzJT 2013-02-28 21:41
Re: Botched up Packages | Apt-get | No changes to packages allowed!
 
What a hassle, so no direct way to elevate my decission above the one that the metapackage dictates? Why can't there be a system where you can be truly in charge? :D

Thank you, I'll purge twitter now. If that is at all working.

Now this is screwed, it won't let me remove the new twitter as it wants to remove mp-harmattan-001-pr first.

Anyway to say, remove twitter first before caring about unmet dependencies?

bibek 2013-03-01 02:51
I'm not an expert on the matter, but I suppose if there's a way to configure dependencies in packages for Linux, you need to follow that, if it exists.

Or is it possible to change the new twitter tarball version before install?

Re: Botched up Packages | Apt-get | No changes to packages allowed!
 
MoritzJT,

Thread merged here to keep discussions at one place ;)

Instead of changing the dependency to twitter (= 1.3.5.1+0m8), add a > sign so that you can safely downgrade to stock twitter in the future easily i.e. twitter (>= 1.3.5.0+0m8)

MoritzJT 2013-03-01 03:35
Re: [Solved] How to downgrade stock twitter version?
 
So for the solution...

I did not completely follow the right way to get to a proper result.

The way I did it was simply installing a few of the twitter tarbals debs via touching them and the rest via inception.

While this might even have been okay, it's necessary to unlock the system packages before. We're going to fix this.

First you need to get root.


Run apt-get -f install

It will ask you to remove mp-harmattan-001-pr

Do so. It only removes the metapackage, not the actual dependencies it has.

Only then you can fully purge twitter.

apt-get purge twitter

Once finished do

apt-get install mp-harmattan-001-pr

It will install the old twitter again.

Now you'll need N9 QuickTweak. Pick the latest version from the appropriate thread and use tweak QQ

You'll have to follow the fitting route for your device and it'll be dead obvious what to do.

Select the correct entry (in this case 001) and then option 1 to unlock system packages.

Once done, close N9 QuickTweak and untar the tarbal containing the new twitter debs into a folder, that'll only contain the tarbals contents.

Open a terminal, gain root, cd into the tarbals extracted folder, and use inception on all packages

/usr/sbin/incept *

If I'm not mistaken.

It will install the new Twitter again but this time, the metapackage won't moan ;-)

Thanks for mergin the threads @thedead1440

Cheers and good luck!

Open mode with
Code:
dpkg -i *.deb
Inception with
Code:
/usr/sbin/incept *.deb
And yes you need just only one of them so you can freely uninstall inception and enjoy open mode.

Well I installed this files, too and I have the issue that my feeds (facebook) are not updating anymore (see this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82253 ).
The mentioned solution ( http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=64 ) is not working for me :confused:

How can I get the stock (N9-) files or where they are located (using wget)? :o

I think you should try
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall pakage_name

No it's not solved... I reinstalled it already many times ...

I mentioned that I am not using twitter and have only Facebook feeds on my events screen. And this facebook feeds are not updating anymore (after I updated to facebook and twitter version of N950).

Try to remove the feeds .config file and then try again.

In terminal type:

rm -rf /home/user/.config/feedreader/eventssubscriptions.conf

Then reboot and try...

Just tried it with terminal again and it is still not working :eek:
