Sending this to maemo-developers, maybe someone there knows more about how to tackle this issue.
Now my feeling is that it is definitely python-related, coz' last night I made one more experiment, installing the following things on a fresh German machine (who knows...!) 1. ossoXterm, FBReader, PSWDSafe, Nano, Plucker (everything through the Application install tool in a ROW), 2. then: python (for-do-dpkg -X), and (libgpgpe*.lib by using for-do-dpkg in Xterm) 3. sqlite (by install tool) => Paket nicht kompatible! So the thing happens I think when installing whatever which is Python-related!!!
I think the dpkg -X is the culprit...
AFTER this case the install tool works no more, but dpkg -X package /var/lib/install still does his job - putting the links even into the menu (!!!) - but not listing the apps we install in this way in the 'Application Installer'
dpkg -X is just installing by force, into the specified directory, without bothering about the package information...
I know you are getting tired with it, but still, if you 'd have any idea what to do in a different way, pls let me know!
Not getting tired of it. Just wanna get it solved! Got this from Igor Tkach: / $ app-installer-tool install /media/mmc1/maemodict-0.1.9.3.deb dpkg-deb: failed to create directory: Permission denied dpkg: error processing /media/mmc1/maemodict-0.1.9.3.deb (--install): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /media/mmc1/maemodict-0.1.9.3.deb failed Installation of /media/mmc1/maemodict-0.1.9.3.deb failed, removing package maemodict. dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove maemodict which isn't installed. I wonder how dpkg can fail to create a directory? I know app-installer-tool is suppsed to run as user, but I tend to always use it as root. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
