tried to install it. I get tar: invalid tar magic.
Although looking into it more, its a windows file, so I guess it wouldn't work on my nix boxes.

I'll be interested in hearing if anyone else can get this file to work.
Rebooted to windows, un rar'd with winrar.
copied it to the 770
dpkg -x vim-tiny_5.6.070-1.1_all.deb /
tar: invalid tar magic
dpkg-deb: subprocess tar returned error at exit status 1

Going through the package manager comes back with Unable to install. Incompatiable package.

I don't quite understand. There is a vim deb listed in the maemo application catalog. What is this one supposed to do that the other one doesn't?

I extracted the deb and copied it into the RS-MMC card (FWIW there's a Linux version of unrar). I then tried to install it with the application installer, and got the same error message (Unable to install. Incompatible package).

Nevertheless I discovered that /var/lib/install/usr/bin/vim was extracted successfully. I still couldn't run it, even after setting PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables. I had to do this:

cd /var/lib/install/usr/lib
ln -s libgpm.so.1.17.3 libgpm.so.1

and only then I could run vim.

gultig: the vim deb linked from the Maemo wiki is innaccessible right now (the web server suffered some sort of a hardware failure).

Now I cannot install any other debs -- the app installer tells me
"Installation of failed.", "Unable to install . Component is built-in."

Could this broken deb have borked up the state of the app installer somehow?
