Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

This is the output whenever I try to apt-get install xsltproc

Anyone know what's wrong?

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

I installed that with no problem have you installed everything else.

Meanwhile my issues get weider and weirder after installing python-dbus it's not asking for dbus.glib any more but when I type

in returnes nothing LOL

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

Yes, all other depencies installed just fine.
But it's the last depency that breaks everything

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

Install python-dbus. I'll add it to the dependencies.

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

It looks to me like one of the dependencies of xsltproc is conflicting with your top harmattan metapackage. It might be something that the repo maintainers can help with. Have a look at apt-cache show mp-harmattan-<whatever that said>. Mine different, because my phone's from a different region.
Zoxir - that package needs ./configure then make then make install. It was only papyon that had the special build script. Each one is different, need to look at each README throughly.

The best solution would be if these packages were turned into proper debs and put in a repository, but that requires tools and accounts that I don't have (and probably an n950 :D )

ok try this:

What does it says on your terminal???
Is there someway I can find out why it acts like that?

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

Ok, I meant an n950 for me. Very jealous that you've got one :)

Here's my apt-cache show on my mp-harmattan metapackage:

I think there's a difference between yours and mine, which pins a version more restrictively and conflicts with the stuff coming in for xsltproc, and apt has no choice but to remove your metapackage, marking every package in your system as 'autoremovable'. If you can compare my package structure to yours and find the difference, we can ask the repo maintainers to fix it. I don't see why the different regional metapackages should be different at this level.

I spoke with some guys earlier this week about a missing depencency in python-crypto, and they were really nice about it.

One other thing, your n9 is PR1.1 right? That might do it.

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

Man I figured it needed ./configure but there was no configure file in the vesrion I got from git so I downloaded the last tar. which compiles fine I added the account but cannot log in. I get a network error :(

EDIT Btw README files were not so useful :P

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

1.1 over here indeed.
Just a question...
Did you already compiled the needed depencies (with make)?
Why not share those? :D

Re: Pidgin (or MSN) on the N9/n950?
 

I was hoping someone could find a more recent release of that. If you get it from git then you need to run something called autoconf to generate the configure script. I tried to install autoconf on my n9 but it wanted to uninstall absolutely everything. You can run it somewhere else though then copy over. Later on I'll tar up what I did for you, though I'm not sure I'm supposed to distribute it.
