right after seeing it i have donated for it as i thought it looks useful. installation was difficult since in the install file on your website you list the wrong repo or have a mistake somewhere in the path. i installed extra devel (why extra devel?) manually and found buddy.
the install file used to work perfectly fine until recently.
The file file does point to the right repo ! as shown below.
Code:
[install]
catalogues = Extras-devel
package = buddy

[Extras-devel]
name = Maemo Extras-Devel
distribution = fremantle
uri = http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
components = free non-free
But when its being added in the application manager , mysteriously the distribution is left empty which is the issue.
In PR1.2 they have added two distributions fremantle and fremantle-1.2 which is why you see this error now and not before. Im not sure if I want to do something about this now until its decided what the debmaster wants to do with the repos.
I suggest you use the application manager to install for now, by enabling extras-devel.
Or another way is when you install from the website and when the application manager asks to install the catalogue from the .install file, manually type the missing distribution as fremantle and all should work fine.
