You're right, I can't blame Nokia for unofficial packages' dependency problems; but can't I blame the lack of a real distro?

Unrar is in the non-free and multiverse sections of Debian and Ubuntu, respectively, so if/when the ITOS ever gets in sync with those distros there wouldn't be a need for a Maemo-specific unrar package.

And that lack of a real distro... I think we can blame Nokia for that. But, of course, the whole subject of this thread is that they may finally be getting on the right track in that regard.

It would be really nice to have some official word about what (if any) relation this "mojo" port has to the future of ITOS. I pinged qgil, hopefully he'll weigh in.
