You need to update your device to PR1.2 if you want to install new Extras applications. (From "fremantle-1.2" repository.)

Well, that's a bit unclear. Extras is unaffected - there is a fremantle and a fremantle-1.2 branch. So, any application in Extras is unaffected, however it won't be further updated (at the moment).

However, Extras-devel is now being seeded from apps being compiled against the PR1.2 SDK. Given that the gap between PR1.2 SDK and PR1.2 being released is increasing - and this is a problem we'll face in future (and have faced before) - it's worth trying to improve the situation:

P.S. Yes. I do know that PR1.2 is not released yet to the people. Curious isn't it? ;)

Curious how?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

iam trying to install bluemaemo but i cant >,<

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

So this means that I cannot:
- update (currently 8 of) my application
- install a lot of interesting applications
only because the devs are publishing in a future app status.
and nobody can tell how long we have to remain in this deep-freeze!
can't you hear the other dev groups laughing about this invalidism for which obviousely nobody feels responsible.

hey come on:
why isn't it possible to put the future state apps into a seperate repository (which we can disable meanwhile) or at least offer second versions of the apps which can be installed and used for updates in the current firmware?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

OK - this seems to be quick and professional solution, isn't it?
Lets all meanwhile put the N900 beside and go for an iBone?

They cannot multitask properly but have a crazy lot of apps.
We can multitask brilliantly but have bravely disabled the few new apps to apply.
LOL

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Dear Devs,
Please, please, please, do not publish updated app versions now!

If you do, your apps are de facto dead for the next weeks/months, because:

Nobody can install your apps since the new firmware and the linked packages are not available.
Nobody can update any of your new software apps.
Nobody can reinstall your software apps after a phone reset.
Your software will cause error messages and worries in the user's device and this is no good PR anyway.

So please do a favor to the whole community and wait until this problem disappears somehow...
This is my personal opinion.

Thanx, Kyros

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Or you may DO update the apps to encourage sooner resolution.

Dear Users, please, please, please, do not abuse extras-devel!

As soon as you disable extras-devel you'll find a nice set of well-tested applications that will for sure install in your pre-1.2 device.

Not that it matters that much now that the problem is fixed for non-Qt apps at least.

At least there is one (your) hint which is trying to help.

Thanx, Kyros

PS: Not every reply pointing out an unsustainable situation is an abuse... :o

Shame it took over three weeks to resolve. Too bad someone from Nokia didn't give XFade a heads up and warn him it was going to be a while until PR1.2 was going to be released :( Perhhaps he would have postponed the upgrade to the autobuilder and we could have avoided a lot of problems.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Problem apparantly solved. I just updated all apps without a problem, click on app manager menu to use the update all function to save steps to wait for catalogue refresh after each single update.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

surprisingly when i checked for updates it shown most of app with same version to update..totally amazed..n i was able to update tuner this time..
am i missing something !!!

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Most of the apps was rebuilt with fixed dependencies. That's why you see updates with the same version.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Good to see that something good happened in the background.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Just had about 10 updates listed too :)

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

As we said, ideally most non-Qt apps should be fixed. Save for Mapper (but that one will be fixed soon) and librtcom-eventlogger depending ones (this one is a bigger problem right now).

If you find another one, feel free to point that to us (note that by Qt apps I include pyside, pyqt ones)..

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

tried downloading the ps3 remote app but it wouldnt let me it told me it couldnt find the package or something to that effect

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

is there something wrong with all the repos because i tried a different internet connection and it stil wouldnt update

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

I'm getting some wierd stuff... I had 4 inupdatable apps and like a week ago suddenly there was 23 updates and I updated all of them, even those that were previously saying that there were packages missing... 2 days later again like 13 updates, only this time 4 apps failed to update and 2 of them are new apps..

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Hey guys!

I have a question. Is there the "extras"-repo affected, too? I just have the extras-repo, no extras-testing or extras-devel. Now I am confused because I cannot install the new version of "healthcheck" and "batterygraph".
I checked for updates many times but there are no updates listed in the application manager. With healthcheck i made the fault that i removed the application. I thoungt that I would see the update when I reinstall it but now I cannot reinstall it because it's not listed in the application manager.
Is this behavior normal? If not, what can I do or try to fix it?

Many thanks in advance!

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Hi,

I'm using extra repository like any other user.

Here is what I have this morning (from a console apt-get update) :

Code:

W: GPG error: http://repository.maemo.org fremantle Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG E40DC434616730BD maemo.org Extras repositories (Fremantle Extras) <repositories@maemo.org>

Has the GPG key changed this week-end?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Hello!

@luma: I got the same error message today forenoon in the application manager log.

@all: After I went home from work today evening I got the update-notification (the blinking exclamation mark beside the clock) for "batterygraph". I installed it and checked out if I could install "healthcheck", wow it was listed again! After I installed these packages I checked out again for updates and the error message in the log of the application manager with the GPG-error was gone.
I didn't change anything but now it seems that everything is back to normal. And I am happy again. :)

Hope this helps anybody.

Greetings from Germany

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

They were all rebuilt and reinstalled because (at the very least) some stuff got optified. I went from 31 MB free to 52 MB free on root and I did nothing but apply the updates. Also, I'm pretty sure some of the packages showed in red in storage usage before.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Hi guys, today I completely lost access to app manager, I cant update install or even uninstall any application, Keep saying "Operation failed". What I suppose to do?

IIRC cauldron-builder is optifying packages by default now, so simple rebuild is enough :)

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

You can get a more detailed log in the application manager menu, might be more useful.

Oh. Source?

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Oh, also, I have overstated my gain, apparently. After reboot, it went to 35 or so, from 51. Given size, I'm thinking the cache for apt got deleted. Still increased.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

You still need to put "auto" in debian/optify for that.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
