Hey, guys...

After hearing some good things about Canola2, I finally decided to take a quickie look at it even though I really don't do much media stuff on my tablet, so I tried to install the package shown in Application Manager on my stock 770 running OS2006 (Version 3.2006.49-2).

Baaaaad idea.

Somewhere in the middle the package installation for the base Canola2 package stopped, and now when I try to install ANYTHING else (either from a local .deb file or from any other repository I've tested thusfar) I get the following message in the Application Manager log:

E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the python2.5-xml package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch)

NOTE: I cannot become root on this tablet ... I've not had any reason to yet, so I don't have anything like "becomeroot" installed, and I can't install that package to use apt-get directly because I get the above message when I try to do so.

What kind of a POS package manager leaves things out of synch like this????!? It's enough to make me wish the 770 used RPMs. Or Slackware packages. And no, the aforementioned package is not visible in Application Manager. I'd love to just remove it.

Any advice is appreciated.

Suggestions to simply reflash the device > /dev/null unless substantive supporting arguments are made.

Thanks!
