Sorry to hear you do not have enough people - you are really doing a job that IMHO has more potential to benefit Nokia than endless "fashion phone" repackaging.

As to reusing external stuff being the whole point of Linux, it has also been a weak point of Linux for a very long time. Aside from the DLL-hell issue, you simply can't expect scores of packages from unrelated people to work together flawlessly. It won't happen. Never does. That's exactly why more conservative BSD-based systems have "correct" versions of all the important bits (libraries, includes, PERL, etc.) installed somewhere safe in the system, as part of the core distribution, and never changed.

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.
I am going to research the matter and try to figure out just what exactly is preventing Canola from installing right now. Been busy porting my own stuff to Maemo, hence is the delay.
