update weirdness

i reflashed my tablet yesterday (N810) and when i got to update the following items wont update because it says libart2-0.2 is missing , yet it isnt. also , the attached screenshot was taken in blue pill mode. when in red pill there are numerous other items that say "update availible but not installable" any ideas on how to solve this?

Re: update weirdness

yes:
don't go in redpill mode.. ;)

hildon input method cannot be seen in blue pill mode after a reflash.
open a shell and type this:
apt-cache policy hildon-input-method

Re: update weirdness

i did that , but those are still in the update list but wont update.... how can i get it to recognize that I DO have libart-2.0-2????

Re: update weirdness

Well, I wanted the result of the command above.. otherwise I can't help, I don't know where you got this hildon-input-method..

Re: update weirdness

Okay I can see this hildon-input-method version.

Did you install it through svn? That's exactly why I asked for the output of the previous command.

If yes, this is the development branch, don't expect stable stuffs.

Re: update weirdness

sorry , i misunderstood what that command was for , heres a screenshot of the result. what is svn , only way i ever install anything is through the app manager.

Re: update weirdness

You probably have a version of libart which is too old.

Can you type this:
apt-cache rdepends libart-2.0-2

You'll have to ask gplsystems.com..

Until then you can disable this repository or ignore the update until it's fixed.

This version comes directly from svn, the development branch. It's probably not finished yet. That's what you are trying to install on your IT.

Re: update weirdness

If you want to go on in this path you have to install this repo:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
chinook
free

And it says:

EVALUATION Software! Not for productive work!

Have fun and tell us when it works ;-p

edit: and to finish my speech, if it shows in App manager it's because gplsystems have forced it to be shown:

Re: update weirdness

i typed that in , any certain result you were looking for , cause i had to scroll down a bit to see it all. but i found the gpl systems repo and disabled it.... was one of the unneeded ones that i installed off of gronmayers website.

Re: update weirdness

In a way, it's good that this package did not install :D
Otherwise it _could_ be that you would have to reflash because it would not work correctly and break the bootup process (or anything else).

From what I understand, the problem is that these packages are visible in blue pill mode. In redpill, you are allowed to shoot yourself in the foot but not in bluepill mode!

Same goes for the libraries which should not be displayed, but this person is not the only one, it fills my app manager..
