Still problems with apt-get, Ovi Stor and Apps For MeeGo
 

It seems that hiding my original post in a thread marked [solved] wasn't a good idea at all. I'll try again here:

It appears somethings broken on a lower level with the way my N9 handles installations:

• Cannot install anything from the Ovi Store any more
• In the Apps For Meego application, I only see a few applications listed - none that start with letters A-O
• apt-get update does things I cannot interpret

Of course I believe all of these things have the same cause.

Maybe I'll start by copying the output of apt-get update here:

The two messages showing up here in the lines starting with "0%" and "75%" don't always show up in these lines. Sometimes it's "72%" and "90%", respectively, sometimes something completely different. Seems to be random.

I tried some of the things recommended in this forum without really knowing what I was doing (apt-get install -f, apt-get autoremove, apt-get clean, apt-get check, ...), but none of those pointed to one broken package or unmet dependency. (At least I couldn't interpret the output as such.)

Any ideas? :(

Apps for Meego doesnt show apps with letters A-O since a long time. Its a bug in the client itself. I would suggest to remove that repo from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ as well as to post the contents of the other .list files in that directory

I had pretty much the same problem, what I did was backing up and removing all sources from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ except these two:

aegis.ssu-keyring-001.list
osa.list

After a reboot the store worked fine.
Don't know which of the other sources caused the ovi store to not work, but if I were you I re-add the sources one by one - as soon as the store is working again.

Thank you. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ contained:

aegis.ssu-keyring-001.list
appsformeego.list
appsformeego-testing.list
osa.list

I then disabled the testing mode in Apps For Meego, uninstalled Apps for MeeGo alltogether and am now left with

aegis.ssu-keyring-001.list
osa.list

This, of course, solves my problem with Apps For MeeGo. :D

Plus - surprise! - I was able to install all the applications from the Ovi Store that I had waiting in my queue.

Also, the ouptput of apt-get looks better now. The only thing that's still there is:

I wonder what this means.... It's irritating to have this on my phone. :)

Anyway, it seems getting rid of Apps for Meego solved the Ovi store problem, which in turn helped getting rid of at least one of the error messages in apt-get update.

Thank you very much!

Ah, I missed your answer while I typed. :)

But basically it's what I have now. I don't think I need more sources ATM.

Do you have this
message in apt-get update, too?

Re: Still problems with apt-get, Ovi Stor and Apps For MeeGo
 

I do, and usually it's just tailing the launch message for /usr/bin/osa, but otherwise I don't see any issues with updates.

Re: Still problems with apt-get, Ovi Stor and Apps For MeeGo
 

Yes I've got something similar: "11% [1 exec:////usr/bin/osa --packages 0B]QNetworkReplyImpl::_q_startOperation w". (and on a second apt-get update call it's the same message you have)

The bug is not in the client, but on the server database side. I cannot do anything about it and the server is run by Nemein in maintenance state, because Nokia pays no bills anymore.
