Omweather installation failed - application packages missing
 

Hello,

I got my N810 today and the fun started :p

However, some of the applications that I try to install fail for some reason.

One example is Omweather. When I try to install it it fails with the following error:

I tried searching for a package (as limited as the search function in app installer is) containing libhildon or hildon keywords but found nothing. I also added the extras-devel repository but had no luck in finding the proper packages.

Attempted installations of other applets fail with similar errors.

HELP :confused:

Re: Omweather installation failed - application packages missing
 

...since you *just* got your N810, the first question to ask is: what OS revision are you running? Did you upgrade to Diablo, or are you running Chinook?

Re: Omweather installation failed - application packages missing
 

I did no upgrade whatsoever. I saw mentions of Diablo and Chinook here and there but could not find any explanation what these codenames mean.

What is reported by About product screen is: OS2008, version 1.2007.42-19

Thanks!

Update:
So I tried to install the Chinook version of omweather from here: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=1998

But I got the same error. I will try upgrading the OS2008 version to Diablo and try again.

excellent decision...

had you not upgraded to the latest OS, I was going to suggest that you make that your first step. Once you've done that, the OMWeather in the Extras repository should "just work" for you.

Re: Omweather installation failed - application packages missing
 

OK.

Installed the latest firmware and now the problems are resolved :-)

cool deal. glad to hear it. :)

...and, there'll be an update to OMWeather coming out fairly soon. ...or you can grab a preview in the Extras Devel repository, if you can't wait.
