What is this "Incompatible Application Package" error that people keep getting? Does it mean that it is for a different version of the OS (eg Chinook instead of Diablo)?
In fact is easy to explain. The only user installable packages (e.g. programs) are in user/other section. Everything else like the libs above is not DIRECTLY installable but instead is available for dependency resolution. That's all. Of course it will install fine with dpkg.
