Finally got round to updating via the non-repository way, but trying to install the latest .deb fails with missing package python-imaging

This is expected when trying to update by using the .deb?

(after installing python-imaging via apt it installs and runs fine)

Yep, thats expected - the python-imaging dependency was added since the last Extras release (to enable the new negative filter feature for map layers), so if the package is being installed manually, the dependency also needs to be manually installed.

I've added instructions for adding the COBS repository entry to the apt sources list.

If you add the COBS repository like this, modRana will update automatically, as if it were in Extras.

As for the cobs installation instructions for maemo, I believe there are several problems in the suggested commands - and I do not know enough about repositories to figure these out.

As given, the line

echo http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/Mart...tandard/armel/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modrana-cobs.list
produces just errors, which must be due to the hanging "

So I have added another one where I thought it should be, like this

echo "http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/MartinK:/modrana:/modrana-fremantle/MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_Maemo.org_MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_ standard/armel/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modrana-cobs.list
I then found that line in the modrana-cobs.list file, however it was still missing the "deb" at the beginning, I suppose.

Adding that gave me a 404 error, however, so this is where I have up.

I was able to manually download the deb-file and install it, on the other hand.

But it would be good to fix the installation instruction, I think.

update: further below in the instructions, in the stanza referring to the N9 and the N950 (none of which I own, I have a N900) seems to be the correct syntax:

echo "deb http://repo.pub.meego.com//home:/Mar...ttan_standard/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modrana-cobs.list
So I did that, and it not only updated modRana but also added a couple of probably useful python things.

But it removed all traces of the icon or any other shortcuts. I can still start modRana from the command line by actually going to /opt/modrana/run, but I don't see why the installation had to remove my existing icons...

Can I get them back somehow?

Thank for noticing the error !

There was a missing " & the deb prefix, also the armel suffix shouldn't have been present in the URL.

The fixed Fremantle@N900 installation instructions look like this:

Code:
echo "deb http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/MartinK:/modrana:/modrana-fremantle/MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_Maemo.org_MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_standard/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modrana-cobs.list
apt-get update
apt-get install modrana

That's because you installed the Harmattan package, that doesn't have a normal startup script in /usr/bin as on Fremantle & has different icons. And the system saw this as just an upgrade, so it removed any files belonging to the old package and not present in the new one. Just using the updated Fremantle installation instructions should fix this.

thanks, I am pleased to confirm that the syntax now works properly and modRana is installed, including its icons.

He probably talked about the QML GUI.
