Palm Pilot Software
Hi, I was trying to get the pilot-manager and pilot-link packages to play with my new palm IIIx. But things seem to be fried due to the perl upgrade...? SNIP jade:/dev# apt-get install pilot-manager pilot-link Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: pilot-manager: Depends: perl-tk but it is not installed E: Sorry, broken packages jade:/dev# apt-get install perl-tk Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: perl-5.005 apache-common liburi-perl libgtk-perl libhtml-parser-perl apache perl-base autoconf eperl perl-5.005-base dpkg-dev libnet-perl libmime-base64-perl sgml-data libwww-perl The following packages will be REMOVED: libmd5-perl mailtools w3mir dns-browse mrtg makepasswd perl checkbot wu-ftpd-academ webmagick The following NEW packages will be installed: perl-5.005 perl-5.005-base perl-tk /SNIP I cant let it remove stuff that i need like wu-ftpd-academ etc. What does that have to do with perl anyway? But, point being, does anyone have any tips for getting around this mess, or have any other (Preferably debianized) software which wont conflict to suggest? (I played with Pyrite but it doesnt seem to do much beside back up the palm pilot) Thanks, Timothy PS: Which software do I need in order to beable to install downloaded 3rd party apps on the palm pilot? -- E-Mail: Timothy Hospedales [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 15-Jul-99 Time: 09:20:09 This message was sent by XFMail Powered by Debian GNU/Linux. --

But things seem to be fried due to the perl upgrade...? You're using potato, aren't you? The manner in which the Perl packages are organized has been improved so that multiple versions of Perl can be installed at the same time. There will be a period of flux, while the packages that depend on perl are updated. They don't call it ``unstable'' for nothing! :-) If you can downgrade yourself to slink, all should be well. If you need something that is only available in potato, have patience. I cant let it remove stuff that i need like wu-ftpd-academ etc. What does that have to do with perl anyway? But, point being, does anyone have any It probably depends on perl, or depends on something that depends on perl, or ... (you get the idea :-) tips for getting around this mess, or have any other (Preferably debianized) software which wont conflict to suggest? (I played with Pyrite but it doesnt seem to do much beside back up the palm pilot) If you are desperate, you could: Update to the most recent version of perl, allowing apt to remove any packages that cannot be upgraded to the point where they depend on perl5. Rebuild each of those packages with a dependancy on ``perl5''. PS: Which software do I need in order to beable to install downloaded 3rd party apps on the palm pilot? Use pilot-xfer, from the pilot-link package. Also, you may want to look at the documentation link under my signature. David -- David H.

Palm Pilot software
Is there any other software available like the KDE's kpilot? I'd love to convert the use of my Pilot to pure Linux, but the KDE stuff is questionable, and kpilot in Debian is broken due to libs. I'm looking for something that will sync the Pilot, backup/restore, install new software, and have a working email conduit. Or is it possible to convert the KDE app to gtk or something?
