Because the "lib" packages you list are not 'user' packages. The error message is a bit misleading, granted... > My tip: > the section in control in deb is not correct. I'd say it is correct: the "lib" packages are not supposed to be visible in the Application manager. They are considered part of the system, like "libgtk2.0" etc. Spoiler alarm: The Application manager can be put into a mode where it treats all packages as user packages, regardless of their section. It's a hidden setting, but should not be hard to find... Also, I am getting this idea of adding a "dir://" method to apt that will treat a random directory full of .deb files as a repository, creating the "Packages" file etc on the fly... maybe this already exists. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
