I'm having an issue with Nokia's Remote Device Access (RDA),

I first grab my code's .deb (Arm not x86, but since it's python/PyQt it shouldn't matter) from garage.maemo.org's autobuilder

I click on the RDA's Install Software button, and after a length of time I get the following error halfway through the install:

Code:
Error while installing to phone:
dpkg crashed with exitCode0
[OK]



If I open up a terminal in RDA and run from root:
Code:
dpkg - i [packagename]
I get the following error:
Code:
dependency problems prevented configuration...



So I have unmet dependencies, this isn't a surprise, but it would seem that the Install Software Button just calls dpkg -i.

That said, if I were to run
Code:
apt-get --fix-missing install
All dependencies (python2.5-qt4-gui, etc); will be installed as expected.

My code has been in extras-devel for 2 months now, I've made quite a few development releases and have had no problems installing it on either the SDK, New Devices or Re-flashed devices, ranging from PR1.0-PR1.2.


I'm writing this because I'd like to submit to Nokia's Calling All Innovators Contest, and installing/running on RDA is a partial requirement. I can only submit a deb file and cannot submit a repository or .install file, so I'm in a bit of a bind.

I now assume that my py2deb build file is incorrect I currently have.
Code:
p.depends = "python2.5, python-dbus, python2.5-qt4-gui, python2.5-qt4-core, python-Imaging, python-support"

I've read through this thread but considering the date this is based on PR1.0, should I try loading gnome-python, or is there a force --fix-missing command I can issue in my post install script?


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
