The problem is that we have a cornucopia of different situations (devices, OS's, repositories, etc.) and, if we don't know exactly what the user has, we can't give a 100% guaranteed way of fixing it.

But Canola is on a really interesting point of development right now, bunch of new things coming soon (no, really).

Regarding the state of software development for the maemo devices, I'd say that even though it's not as good as it could be, things are definitely looking up. I for one welcome our new OMAP3-based overlords.

Well, the majority of the packages are from the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, and honestly it's probably the best way to deal with them IMHO (other applications can use the EFL as well and only install exactly what they need, remember that space is an issue on embedded devices).
Canola itself is divided in quite a few packages, but again, it's for good purposes AFAICT. Users can install only the plugins and themes they do want to use (apart from the base ones which are distributed together with Canola).

Help!
New to Linux and N810
When I try to install Canola I get these errors saying these are missing
lightmediascanner0-plugins (>=0.3.0-maemo2)
libpng12-0 (>=1.2.13-4)
libpng12-0 (>=1.2.37)
I have run the canola cleanup wizard and rebooted and still get the same errors.
I really dont want to have to reflash my N810 (but will if I have to)
Any advice anyone?
Thanks,
Lantz

I got the same thing. It seems the Canola packages have broken dependencies in the repos.

I don't think reflashing will help, you'll have to wait for "someone" to fix the packages.

I had that same error. It turned out that I had extras-devel enabled. If you have that, disable it and it should fix the problem. I had this problem not too long ago and thought that it was a problem with the packages.
