Hmm, interesting. It said that the E17 packages were there, but not the libecore, etc. I'd love to check again, but my deblet got hosed last since my last endeavors and I've yet to reinstall it. I'll probably take another shot in a day or two...for now my wife is mad at me for wasting so much time playing with computers.

same problem here, has there been any progress? here is the output from apt-get install e17 if it helps:

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
e17: Depends: libecore-con0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-evas0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-fb0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-file0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-imf0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-ipc0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-job0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-txt0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore-x0 but it is not installable
Depends: libecore0 but it is not installable
Depends: libedbus0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libedje0 but it is not installable
Depends: libefreet0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libembryo0 but it is not installable
Depends: libevas0 but it is not installable
Depends: libevas-engines but it is not installable

Looks like those packages are in the experimental debian repository..

They do appear to be missing from my repo and the tspre repo. Try adding the following to your sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main

And then apt-get update, and apt-get install e17. You may want to remove experimental after that.. since it is, well, experimental.

Experimental is not by default included in sources.list of a Debian OS. The reason for this is that they're... very experimental, and might really screw the OS up (or even device).

You were warned...

E17 packages from experimental cause a crash after the splash screen with this error:

"This is very bad. Enlightenment SEGV'd.

This is not meant to happen and is likely a sign of a bug in Enlightenment or the libraries it relies on. You can gdb attach to this process now to try debug it or you could exit, or just hit restart to try and get your desktop back the way it was."

I'll have to re-look at these when I can get caught up with MER again. Since deblet has more or less been shelved to get Mer operational I've removed my deblet install and have an older copy of the Mer image. Once I get caught up with that I'll see about getting enlightenment to work on it. (maybe Ubuntu's repo's have it already, I'll take a look.)

Thanks. Don't worry about it on deblet. I just wanted to see if there was an easy way to get it going on it. I was really hoping for the newer subversions of it anyway.

Ubuntu doesn't have e17 in the repos. I tried compiling it using the easy_e17 script but I ended up with an error saying that the drive was out of space (which I seriously doubt considering the install was the only thing on my 8GB drive). But, anyway...it didn't work.

Thanks for your help with this.
