hmm. Have you tried default application manager?

yea, that log is from using xterm.

type in

apt-get install nitdroid-installer

it tells me to try

apt-get -f install

do that and that error comes up.

tried apt-get clean, and ive tried to purge the problem package. but it comes up in same loop of instructions and errors.

the fast app man comes up with umet dependency problens. tottaly different kettle of fish...... hmmmm

Hi i had the same problem with that dependecy (libsdl-ttf2.0). I did solve it by downloading libsdl-ttf2.0 and just install it with dpkg -i, that did the trick for me

Get the file from here:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...+0m5_armel.deb

And save it to /home/user/MyDocs, then open xterm and as root type this:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/libsdl-ttf2.0_2.0.9-1osso0+0m5_armel.deb 'enter'

Hope this helps you

Still. I didn't completely understand. Have you tried default application manager from application menu? Yes or No is enough for answer

It does something differently even thought is uses apt-get.

normal app manager is fine. no problems.

i only have dependency problems with fast app man and using apt-get install command. i downloaded the nitdroid installer no problem, but you have yo use xterm to install.

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /home/user/MyDocs/libsdl-ttf2.0_2.0.9-1osso0+0m5_armel.deb

to force overwrite.
