@Mooler : this can be caused by several issues not related to canola or it's package, so the best way to receive help is providing us here in the forum the result of the log.

*just saying "it's failing at X" doesn't help at all.

First thing that could have happened: your internet connection failed in the middle of the download. / the maemo repository went down for a couple of seconds, and so on.

Can you please copy and paste your log from the application installer here?
