I'm not sure, since I reflashed since experiencing this problem, but I was getting that on the same setup as I have now but with http://rabenfrost.net/celtune/celtune-rabenfrost.conf in /etc/opkg. Perhaps the ncurses from that repo is broken? -- Joseph Booker signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I forcibly removed libncurses5 and everything is fine. ncurses no longer depends on libncurses5. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

There's a bug in TRAC for this: https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1569 The fix there went from in testing to bug closed in the last couple of days, so presumably it works. Please confirm.

It needs to go somewhere, anyone upgrading actory-installed 2007.2 image without re-flashing will hit this error message until the forced remove is done. -- Alex Fitzpatrick Gatineau, Quebec ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Problem upgrading ncurses
I believe that '-force-overwrite' allows the upgrade to proceed without necessitating an uninstall. Since OM documentation is so sparse, I have assumed that Debian dpkg command line options would work, as long as you get the syntax right.
