maemo.org - Talk - Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800

Not that fast, you do not have to install Python 2.4, it sometimes come with other apps that go with python2.4. I am not saying one way or the other,
"I've never installed python 2.4" is not good enough, - " I've never installed python2.4 dependent app" is a stronger statement.:rolleyes:

Ok, so let me tell it again more precisely: I never install python 2.4 neither directly nor through dependencies and I had python 2.5 installed before the upgrade ;).
I still think that the problem is not python 2.4/2.5 related but it's due to borked repositories (actually, maemo extras).

TTgowings, I did the same (went back to blue pill) and everything seems fine.

But cannot install OMweather.Says, there is again some missing application package.This firmware upgrade seems to be a hurriedly done one without taking care of everything.Anyone installed OMweather after the upgrade?

Vdas22, I installed my OMWeather directly from the maemo site, not the one click instal as that one errored out with incompatibility/missing resource files.

This is where I got the debs and iconsets..

Thanks TT. I will try tonight and see how it goes.I think I tried installing the icons first without installing the deb.That might have been the issue.

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800

Hi there,

I have just flashed my n800 from 2007SE_4.2007.26-8 to 2007SE_4.2007.38-2 and python2.5-runtime was one of the 1st I tried to install.

My application catalogue was restored from a backup but I was having similar problems to Mike (frethop), I resolved my issue by changing my maemo extras catalogue, in the "components section" I had to change "free non-free" to just "free", all seems ok so far.

hope that helps someone else :)

The "extras" catalogue must finally have been repaired (see complaints in other forum threads as well) as until very recently it wasn't allowing a refreshing of the catalogue list. I've always had mine set as "free" but had to disable it in order to get a refreshing. Thanks for letting us know it's now working. I tried it and it now works OK for me also.

Re: Cannot Install Python 2.5 on Nokia n800

Having the same problem, so I guess the extras catalogue is still corrupt?
