Some dependencies are interfering with the update from PR1.2

Just uninstall the program and reinstall after the update; all your save data will still be there even after the update and reinstall.

It's because Application Manager is ultra conservative in updating packages which it's not explicitly told to and because for some reason Nokia isn't providing gles 1.1 support as part of PR releases. Nothing can be done from application side.

Shouldn't this not matter is the versions are identical?

I am not sure what you are referring to. PR 1.2 updates common opengles library and gles2.0 library. gles 1.1 library should be also updated because it depends on particular version of common opengles library. Because gles 1.1 library isn't included in PR 1.2 release and AM refuses to implicitly update (like apt-get would) gles 1.1 library, OTA upgrade is blocked until gles1.1 library is removed.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for this excellent game. I think It's really polished and very enjoyable (when it runs well).

Initially I thought that the game was resource-heavy because it was developed for the iPhone which has no multitasking. I used to used desktop activity manager to turn off all my desktop widgets in order to play, and that made it work better. However, reading through the thread I realise I was very wrong.

Anyway doing wc -l .brainparty returns 837681 .brainparty and displaying the score at the end of a test takes about 2 minutes. I' going to try to clear the scores and see what happens.

i've got a question about the actual game... there is a test called "Bomb hunt"... and no matter how many times i actually find the three components of the bomb it always tells me that i failed... is there something i'm missing? i've even tried ordering the components by number of sides (ascending and descending) by order in which they appear (from left to right or top to bottom or the other way around) and it just always gives me a failed mark... always!... is there anything i didn't get?

...that's the only one i'm having issues with... thx!

Is this something that can be filed (or has already been filed) as a bug against Application Manager?

I'm not sure what I was referring to either, this repository thing is new to me.

On the other side of the fence, one could deliver gles 2.0 along with an installation of Brainparty, making the OTA skip the package entirely.

The more I think of it the weirder it sounds for Linux, as you don't embed libraries in packages, but depend on them. So you'd request the 2.0 from a repository that might block you.

Isn't glses available to re-download from repository? Wouldn't updating BP to depend on the 2.0 automatically pull 2.0 and allow OTA to proceed?

I've finaly installed brain party on my pr 1.2...

With the leaked version, i couldn't install it, and when i updated it to the official version, the problem didn't disapear.

The solution i found was:

On the "maemo-extras" repo, the catalog was set to find stuff for "fremantle-pr 1.2" only, so i've added a new catalog set for "fremantle" (without the "-pr 1.2"). It solved the issues.
