app manager: <package> breaks the 3rd party package policy

Quim Gil reported that Mad Bomber is not installable from fremantle extras-devel.

Quote:

Hi, I have tried to install Mad Bomber from Fremantle extras-devel but I get the error:

Mad Bomber breaks the 3rd party package policy

Unable to install

Because I've never heard of such error I decided to move discussion here.

Does anybody know what causes this?

Quim, is it possible to get more detailed error report from AM itself or by trying to install it with apt-get?

Re: app manager: <package> breaks the 3rd party package policy

Never heard of it either. Deb info (on x86 at least) looks reasonable.

I haven't got time to grep through the h-a-m source at the moment.

Re: app manager: <package> breaks the 3rd party package policy

Have a look at src/apt-worker.cc lines 3085 and 3096:

http://gitorious.org/hildon-applicat...er.cc#line3076

My guess is one of the depends conflicts with the SSU-installed packages (e.g. by requiring a higher version than installed on the device):

Code:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5.0-1), libsdl-image1.2 (>= 1.2.4-5), libsdl-mixer1.2, libsdl1.2 (>= 1.2.10-1), libx11-6, madbomber-data (= 0.2.5-3maemo4

Re: app manager: <package> breaks the 3rd party package policy

If that's the case then this cannot be fixed until SDK is updated. There could be other packages which require rebuilding too.

It's got to be the first one, since there are no conflicts in the package. This then results in the reported error message here.

All of the above (except madbomber-data) have equal or higher versions in the beta SDK already.

My C++-foo isn't great, but I suspect apt-pkg misuse or bug. This check should trigger for all the listed dependencies:

Code:

          if (op == pkgCache::Dep::NoOp

              || op == pkgCache::Dep::GreaterEq

              || op == pkgCache::Dep::Greater)

            continue;

or am I missing something?

Here you have, hope it helps.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
madbomber: Depends: madbomber-data (= 0.2.5-3maemo4) but it is not going to be installed
ukmp: Depends: python-pygame but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-imaging but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Coincidentally or not, there was an UKMP update. I have installed and now the story was different:

Re: app manager: <package> breaks the 3rd party package policy

MadBomber works, apparently (just gave it a try, time to bed).

btw, you might want to consider using the interface with the accelerometers, but this is a topic for another thread. :)

Re: app manager: <package> breaks the 3rd party package policy

So... is this 'third party package policy' about conflicting dependencies in extras? About third party packages that can't be authenticated? Both? Else?

That you probably have to ask from Nokia :D

But to me it looked like that Application Manager wasn't able to resolve depencies, possibly because ukmp installation was somehow halfway.
