IMPORTANT
After several people complained about not being able to install mycontacts from extras I decide to check on my own device and found out that there is actually a "problem" with the extras repository and mycontacts. The maemo webmaster knows about it and is working on a solution.

As now it is NOT POSSIBLE to install mycontacts from extras. It will fail if you click the "install green arrow" on the maemo download page, you won't find mycontacts on the list of installable applications on the application manager and you won't be able to install using "apt-get" unless you have extras-devel or extras-testing enabled.

I created a document with instructions on how to install mycontacts and will be more than glad to help anybody that is still having problems with the process.

Thanks
Felipe

thanks for your apps and effort.

what worked for me in installing this was simply (temporarily) disabling the other packages i.e Testing and Dev.

After that i was able to install without any issues from the version in Extra.

i don't know why i couldn't install with all the packages enable, or why i couldn't install say the Testing version.

thanks all.
