Any ideas?

Exactly the same error? How can it conflict with a file from a package that isn't actually installed?

All having trouble updating/installing app with error: libsdl-ttf2.0... here is the solution: (This worked perfectly for me!!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem seems to be caused because apt tries to install both libsdl-ttf2.0-0 and libsdl-ttf2.0.

I resolved this by force removing the installed libsdl-ttf2 version:

Code:

$ dpkg --force-all -r libsdl-ttf2.0-0

Afterward running apt-get install -f resolved the issue and installed both packages without problems

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 
I've had my n900 for about 10 days, and have been using fapman for 7 of them. Great app! So great that I want to make it the default ... but how do you do that?

I see here that you can edit some files linking applications and MIME types. Is that really the only way to do it? And if so, exactly which file to edit? The system file, or the per user file?

Also, what is the exact line(s) to add? What is the mime type for all installable files? (I wouldn't think there is such a thing.) And how would fapman be referred to? fapman.desktop??

There's got to be a better way! :D

Hmm. What do you mean by that you want to do it default app? You want to install nokia ovi store apps and .deb files e.g. here with it by default?

The issue was a little more in depth for me. The issue circled around numpty physics being broke in devel.

This thread talks about how to correct the issue numpty build caused.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59841

This should help correct any pygame issues you're having with dependicies.

You can't do that at the moment.
Registering mime types will accomplish nothing because fapman does not know what to do with .install or .deb files.

It was returning errors when trying to remove it, that said it couldn't because the package didn't exist. However apt-get -f install kept returning the same errors as above. I've since gotten it worked out.

It was a combination of removing numptyphysics, reinstalling it, adding the terminal changes from my post, and then removing libsmpeg0.

FInally after that everything is running smooth. I hope libsmpeg0 isn't important. Hahaha.

It is because Heroes port wants libsdlttf-2.0-0, and I have libsdlttf-2.0, both pointing to the same physical fine, which is in conflict. Apt-get is lost. How the hell did this happpen, shouldn't it check first?

I have like 5 apps depending on libsdlttf-2.0, an uninstall cycle borders the impossible for me.

hqh, do you think you could implement a way to activate the virtual keyboard when viewing packages. Always wished for this in the built in app manager. Maybe make an extra button down in the button right hand corner?

Ps: Awesome work btw!

It seems the packages are not marked as conflicting. Maybe you should contact the maintainers of those packages.

Isn't it activated when you choose "search" from the app menu and click on the search text box?

I meant that when I get the update alert (the little yellow blinking square), it launches fapman instead of the maemo Application Manager. But I see that hqh answered the question further down. No can do. :(

At the end of an installation process FAM only displays "Installing {LastPackageNameHere}" but it is Catorise which needs to process the new menu entries. Could you display that step please?

And could you create a similar backup & restore feature like HAM has? Just save a list of all installed applications and to restore just do an "apt-get install {all the packages here}".

Does anyone know what HAM does to refresh icons?

Newly installed apps with apt-get and fapman get blue squares; ones installed by HAM get icons. Also, after installing via fapman, opening and closing HAM rebuilds all icons.

I thought cache refresh was null in 1.2?

Berserk 2010-08-29 00:32

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 
Bug report :)

Does the confirmation dialog (for (un)install) have the right parent set? Because when that dialog shows up, and I press that top-left icon, the parent window goes into that overview, but the dialog stays in place. When I press somewhere on the dialog, I see the desktop, and when I press that top-left icon again, I only see the window, not the dialog. After clicking the window, the dialog shows again.

Probably hard to understand what I mean, but I think that confirmation dialog has the wrong parent, or no parent at all :)

Apps can (and some do) trigger that via "gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor"...

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 
I noticed in the process list, fapm was using apt-get with --allow-unauthenticated option.
Quote:

--allow-unauthenticated
Ignore if packages can't be authenticated and don't prompt about
it. This is useful for tools like pbuilder. Configuration Item:
APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated.
IMO, it should at least warn, or user should be able to set in the options not to install unauthenticated and unverified packages.

How about overall, if (authenticated) packages are installed with fapm, does it check them against repository's signatures, or does it just download them and install them blindly then with dpkg -i ?

All package download and install stuff is handled by apt-get, no extra verifications are done. Adding that option was the easiest way to ensure that the installation goes smoothly most of the time (I remember encountering unauthenticated packages fairly often).

Does HAM warn about unauthenticated packages (besides giving the generic warning for every single package you're about to install)?

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 
I have a small one as well. When a filter is active (type in the install list) and blacklisting an app, it doesn't go away immediately. One needs to re-filter. Not a huge issue, but it would help, especially for search and destroy missions.

Also, where is the blacklist file so I can back it up? Had to reflash and it's a mess again.

Well if you set it to the longest time/largest value(2 147 483 647)
then it will wait 1 491 308 days in between automatic updates OR 4 085 years.:D

I don't think it will ever update in this case! lol
I am not sure if it resets this time after every restart or exactly how it works.
But mine has never updated itself once since i changed the value..

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 
Nahhh..I will report some "bugs" here even-thought garage probably is correct place.

- Window title has normally little blue arrow after text if itīs click-able. e.g look phone application or contacts application. Only main window in fapman has blue arrow.

- If i set category to "all marked packages" in application install screen the category stays selected when going back to main screen and selecting remove applications or upgrade applications. IMO it should be reverted to all installed applications.
