Re: no "screen" command for maemo?
 

does where I ask if installing the similar package will wreck my system (the similar package being the library)
perhaps indicate to you that I had read the error message? but was being cautious as a relative newbie who did not want to overwrite a possibly important library?

or dont people read posts anymore?

Re: no "screen" command for maemo?
 

Ah, touché. My apologies :-(

It should be safe to mix libncurses5 & libncursesw5 on the same system, as the libraries have different named and so the binaries that depend on them won't get mixed up (should be easy to confirm with ldd). It is a bit wasteful though (they come from the same source package, just configured with/without wide character support) especially since the tools repo isn't optified.

Re: no "screen" command for maemo?
 

on a strenge note it looks like all those sdk repos that I put in hildon-application-manager.list are just gone, not in the file anymore.

any idea why they would just get taken out of that file?

Re: no "screen" command for maemo?
 

I think if you add them by manually editing the file, the application manager will get rid of them next time it refreshes. The "master" list is kept in /etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues.
