I tried it this morning, downloading the and manually trying to install the three guile packages with the same results as rone, incompatible package error.

what does the app manager log say?

From command line, would be much quicker to debug.
(dpkg -i *.deb)
'Incompatible' has only meaning in maemo world, doesn't mean anything really.

edit:
Just tried under scratchbox chinook armel, Works!

Only got this last message (I hope app installer doesn't react badly if this happens on the real device)

[sbox-CHINOOK_ARMEL: ~] > dpkg -i aisleriot_2.21.5_armel.deb

After trying to install guile-1.6-libs... from the filemanager the Application manager log has:

...Package must have "Section: user/F00" to be considered compatible.

Then add this repository:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora user
Update list
Download aisleriot, install it through app manager. It will fetch by itself guile stuffs
Remove repository

Application manager will not let you install directly a package which doesn't have its section set to user/something. Dependencies are fine.

someone please confirm that free's method works and I'll replace the instructions (maybe in a new post)

And for the optional stuffs (help and themecard) , I checked they don't have the user/FOO section so either they are dependencies or they have to be installed using dpkg -i
..

I added the repository but the aisleriot deb will not install because of the missing guile lib and paris card theme.

The one in the app manager list also does not install because of a missing lib so I could not install that one then the 2008 version over the top of it.

I just got it installed and running. Here are the steps I followed.

Added the previously mentioned bora repository
went into red pill mode
installed guile from the app list (that automatically brought in guile libs and libguile)
installed paris card them from the app list
exited red pill mode
installed my downloaded copy of aisleriot for os2008 using a tap in file manager to trigger the load of the deb using appmanager.

I have now removed the repository I added above.

Thanks for all the hints that got me here.

That's strange why app manager doesn't find dependencies. Red Pill mode will work for sure but it should really not be needed. Red Pill mode is a bit hardcore I think. One reason could be that dependencies on aisleriot are not well done (if app manager is not able to fetch guile for example)

Would be good to do all in CLI.
add repo
apt-get update
apt-cache policy libguileXXX <-- this has to be done for all mentionned files
apt-cache policy guileXXX <-- this has to be done for all mentionned files
apt-cache policy cardthemeXXX
They should all have a candidate version.
At this step apt-get install aisleriot

Complete output should be reported so that someone here can track the problem.

cripes, if you want, I can host all these dependencies (temporarly because I don't want to interfere with future? chinook official libguile versions). Tell me.
