Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

Hum : to explain.

Old home* applet packages depends on python-hildondesktop.

But the new one (0.0.6) depends on python2.5-hildondesktop.

So if u install it by maemo.org with the install file it should be ok.

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

i have completely removed both hildondesktop
and then try to install it one by one, and that didn't help either.

see the results below.

I am sure that I am not doing anything wrong, but whats wrong then? is this is the wrong package?

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

I think I am overwriting the lib, is that possible that two lib using the same name?

that's just a though but now sure how to fix.

Also I realize that my xournal is gone too, and can't re-install as it also throw the same error on libart2.0-2

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

you are installing python-hildondesktop and then installing python2.5-hildondesktop.

you should do, apt-get remove python-hildondesktop and then apt-get install python2.5-hildondesktop

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

That works great,
based on what "Khertan" said: I was thinking that first the python-hildondesktop and then python2.5-hildondesktop needs to be installed.

but you cleared it, and that solved the problem.

Thanks.

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

Based on the very helpful posts on this thread, I was able to add the proper repository, then apt-get remove python-hildondesktop, and then the apt-get install python2.5-hildondesktop,
but I got the following error:

What is the resolution for this error?

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

Same, you first need remove python-hildondesktop and then install python2.5-hildondesktop.

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

Well, since, I have:
1 - apt-get remove python2.5-hildondesktop
[Package python2.5-hildondesktop is not installed, so not removed]
[complained about unmet dependencies]
[recommended running apt-get -f install (no package) to correct]
2 - apt-get remove python-hildondesktop
[complained about unmet dependencies]
[recommended running apt-get -f install (no package) to correct]
3 - apt-get -f install (with no package)

So, I'm back to my original problem.
Anyone have a recommendation?

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
 

Please, write the complete output in the second step. It seems it isn't uninstalling python-hildondesktop.

Re: Python (Hildon Desktop) Error
