It´s this one: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6263 So I´m changing the uri-action-defaults.list in my postinst script if the script is installed on the current Maemo5 version. Cheers!

Find out Maemo version from script
Hi, I know this has been discussed before, but unfortunately I cannot find it. While developing inside the SDK I used /etc/maemo_version (which is provided by the package maemo-version) to alter the runtime behavior of some scripts. Now on the device I noticed that the package maemo-version does not exist. It seems to be in the SDK repositories only. How do you find out which version of Maemo your script is running on? Shouldn't the package maemo-version just be available in the default repositories? Thanks!

Re: Find out Maemo version from script
There is /etc/osso_software_version but the file is part of some package that can be uninstalled. Then there is osso-product-info command that reads it from config partition (where it is stored by flasher) and prints it. Why do you need it? Maybe checking specific version of specific feature/debian package is better that this?
