Oops. Thanks.

In any case, if you're accessing it from a repository then you can also do 'apt-cache show libffi4' to get an idea of what it requires etc.

EDIT: You can also do 'apt-cache policy libffi4' to display which repository you're getting it from. This could be useful in case there are several variants around.
Well...there's part of the problem, I guess. Here's my response.


Nokia-N800-39:~# apt-cache show libffi4
Nokia-N800-39:~# apt-cache policy libffi4
libffi4:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:


So I guess I don't have the right repository set. I have all my repositories from the last firmware (I did a backup and restore) and I have the "extras" repository set.

Where should we get this? What repository is it on? Since others are having this problem, I hope I'm not bugging the list here with just my problem.
