Hi,

I hope this is the right forum for this query.

I am trying to install the QtWRT package on my N900.

I have added the maemo extras-devel repository added to the list of catalogue in
the Application Manager.

When I tried to search for the package in the Application Manager, I couldn’t
find it. So I directly downloaded the .deb of the QtWRT package from a link in
maemo.org website. I also downloaded the dependent packages as well. When I try
to install the .deb files, I get an error saying “Incompatible package” and the
installation fails.

Am I missing something here? Have I added the repository properly? Could you
please help me with this?

I also have PR1.3 firmware on my N900.

pls don't open multiple threads for the same issue.
anyway.....
to install deb files you have to:
go xterm
sudo gainroot
cd MyDocs (if you have the deb file in your mydocs folder)
dpkg -i nameofyourdeb.deb
finish

No probs:

As root, in X-Terminal:

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install qtwrt
will solve all your problems. If it fails to find the package, you have not configured your apt sources (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list) properly.

Compare the following with mine and see if there are any differences:

Code:
Nokia-N900:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat hildon-application-manager.list 
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-1.3 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
Nokia-N900:/etc/apt/sources.list.d#
Goes without saying that for extras-testing and particularly extras-devel (you need the latter for qtwrt) that "here be dragons" but you bit the bullet when you got an N900 and it's better to burn out than to fade away.

I would recommend Faster Application Manager, if you are not comfortable with using the shell, apt tools and superuser privs.
