Cannot install/update GPE Calendar
 

I've used GPE calendar for over a year and I WAS very happy with it. It would no longer update due to missing dependencies, so I tried to uninstall and then reinstall. Now it won't reinstall either. How can I install the missing dependencies? How about some step-by-step for linux noobs like me?

List of missing dependencies:

gpe-icons (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-3)
gpesyncd (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-3)
libeventdb2 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-2)
lobgpepimc1 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-2)
libgpevtype1 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-2)
libgpewidget1 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-3)
libhandoff0 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-2)
libmimedir-gnome0 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-2)
libsoundgen0 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-2)
libtododb0 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-2)
libxsettings-client0 (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-2)
gpe-icons (>=2.8+maemo_svn20081212-3)

Thanks

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 

Make sure you install with the Application Manager as it does a better job of resolving dependancies than available on the command line. Hopefully you're running Diablo. Diablo maemo extras is the best repository to get a recent version of the GPE aps.

@fragos:
I do use the application manager. I flashed the most current image and running OS2008/Diablo earlier today. I have enabled http://repository.maemo.org/extras and http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel and still no install.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 

i would suggest disabling extras-devel, as there may be a conflict between whats on there, and whats on extras.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 

Ditto on disabling Extras Development. It is a bit confusing because there are more than one Extras repositories. I believe Diablo Extras has a newer version of the GPE aps than the Maemo Extras. That may be the reason your dependencies are too old. Place the following 8 lines in a text file whose name ends in ".install" as in repository.install. Transfer thsi file to your N8x0 and run it. The newer Diablo repository will be added.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 

err, he already have extras enabled, so he only needs to disable extras-devel...

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 

Although the base URL is same, Maemo Extras has a blank "distribution field" while Diablo Extras has that field set to "Diablo" which I believe makes them different parts of the same repository tree.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 

a blank field will be auto-filled by the currently running distro, in my experience.

only if you want something outside of diablo, say chinook or similar, would you need to specify distro.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 

Thanks, that makes perfectly good sense.

Re: Updated GPE Beta
 

hrmf, i did a bit of checking, and it seems that the gpe calendar version found in extras may have been wrongly pushed from extras-devel, without the additional packages following.

the one in extras reads 20081212, same as the one in extras-devel, yet the rest of the gpe packages in extras read 20080114.
