@fms : (don't take me wrong)

We depend on something external, exactly because we don't have enough developers to develop everything. And this is the whole point of the linux based distro, and I don't think it's our fault to trust something that should be working flawlessly and is breaking with no reason. So much reason that using the apt-get do things (yes they use the same) but something on the management side on the App manager breaks.

So, the installation is last resort, and it's only a simple download the packages or a big package and do the dpkg by itself.

Details: we only use stuff that is not available on the tablet on last resort. So python is our tool, we need to support it as much as possible, and the bindings are necessary. The thing is we should get no problems with download manager or libEVAS as we are the only ones using it.

So in the end : this could a problem we are not finding in our side, can be a problem because python was removed from the repositories the way it was... can be a application manager not able to handle a x number of dependencies... and can just be the server behaving erratic, sending users packages broken : /

About your case :

Did you try removing all the libraries? just like the cleanup does?
just installing now will not work, you need to remove canola2, remove all the libs and then apt-get install.

Sorry for all this trouble, we are doing our best.. but when we are not able to reproduce with the minimal precision it's REALLY complicated to fix something :/
