You need to update your device to PR1.2 if you want to install new Extras applications. (From "fremantle-1.2" repository.)

Well, that's a bit unclear. Extras is unaffected - there is a fremantle and a fremantle-1.2 branch. So, any application in Extras is unaffected, however it won't be further updated (at the moment).

However, Extras-devel is now being seeded from apps being compiled against the PR1.2 SDK. Given that the gap between PR1.2 SDK and PR1.2 being released is increasing - and this is a problem we'll face in future (and have faced before) - it's worth trying to improve the situation:

P.S. Yes. I do know that PR1.2 is not released yet to the people. Curious isn't it?

Curious how?
