Re: [maemo-developers] package is built-in?

2006-02-07 Thread Larry Battraw
  You'll get this message any time you try and install a .deb from the
Debian pool or other non-Maemo repository.  Basically it means you'll
have to install it manually as mentioned by someone else.  For a quick
and dirty install, do a dpkg-deb -X [.deb filename] /, although I'm
sure there are better ways to do it.

 I am trying to install a package on my Nokia 770 device. I download
 the .deb file to my /home/users/MyDocs directory and then use the
 package installer on the device (through control panel) to install the
 package.  But I get a message that says:

 Installation of  failed. Display details?

 ( is my package name) When I look at the details, I get:

 Unable to install . Component is built-in

 Obviously my package is not a built-in component.  Can anyone explain to
 me what this message means, and how to get my package installed?

 Thanks...

Try

sudo -u install /usr/bin/app-installer-tool install package.deb

in an xterm to get meaningful error messages.
