Well I got a reply from nokia Tech support which didn't seem to help much.

>the *Install Software* Button just calls dpkg -i.

There might be room for improvement in the RDA's "application installer" feature for N900 (at least make it provide more meaningful error messages when the installation fails). We'll have to investigate this.

Other than that this does not seem like a RDA related issue. I'm not an expert on this subject (py2deb packaging), so you should hopefully get more helpful answers on Forum Nokia DiBo or on Maemo.org DiBo. But clearly one of the dependencies would appear to be broken. Seems like adding gnome-python dependency worked for the other guy in the maemo.org DiBo topic you linked. So you could at least try if adding that to the dependencies list would make a difference.

BR,
FN RDA support
Not that I use either in my application nor does it have any effect on the install (I tried), but wouldn't I really want hildon-python not gnome-python???
