qt4-homescreen-loader Error - maemo.org

kevinm2k | # 1 | 2010-06-29, 12:53 | Report

Hi,

Been having a few problems updating apps recently, I just went to the x-terminal and ran apt-get upgrade to see if i could see the errors and got returned the following:

Code:

irwi: Depends: qt4-homescreen-loader but it is not installed

It asked me to use the apt-get -f install option so I tried this but got more errors:

Code:

error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/qt4-homescreen-loader_4.6.2~git20100421-0maemo1_armel.deb (--unpack):
    trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/loaders/libqtpluginloader.so`, whcih is also in package qt4-maemo5-homescreen-loader

Anyone have any ideas?

apt-get remove irwi

hmm... running that told me irwi wasn't installed. But regardless of that I decided to run 'upgrade' again, and that has now worked!

I thought irwi was 'Irreco Widget' which I do have installed (and still do), is there neway to check for other errors that may exist on the phone? As I can still cant update a number of programs just get 'unable to update'

Just try with apt, check out the error and do the corrective steps (apt-get -f install, or occasionally apt-get remove).

"trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/loaders/libqtpluginloader.so', which is also in package qt4-maemo5-homescreen-loader"

You already have a Maemo 5 specific version installed.

destroid is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
irwi: Depends: qt4-homescreen-loader but it is not going to be installed
simplecal: Depends: qt4-homescreen-loader but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Code:

dpkg -r --force-all qt4-maemo5-homescreen-loader
apt-get install qt4-homescreen-loader

qt4-maemo5-homescreen-loader should be taken down.

Might be an error with the dependencies, I would ask the developers of the applications to fix this.
