Copy armel Debian package to the device and try to open it from File Manager.

Hi,
Mobility packages are now official Nokia packages and they are in the "Nokia Applications" catalogue.
They won't be uploaded to extras-devel anymore.

[divanov]

id of that repository is nokia-certified, other two are nokia-system and ovi.
However, none of them succeed.

[install]
catalogues = nokia-system
package   = libqtm-location

[install]
catalogues = nokia-certified
package   = libqtm-location

[install]
catalogues = ovi
package   = libqtm-location

So is it safe to say there is absolutely no way to install qtmobility-location?

The only way is to be root in X_Terminal?

[divanov]

No, it's not safe. I think if you install application, which has libqtm-location as a dependency, it will fetch the library automatically.

Its not installing and throwing below error...

Unable to install "Mypackage"
Incompatible application package

[divanov]

Then install it from XTerminal with commands:

sudo gainroot
dpkg -i /home/user/PATH_TO_PAKAGE/PACKAGE.deb

Note that capital letters in package name are not allowed.

Hi Daniil,

I tried to install libqtm-location.install file, in the provided by you (http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...antle/install/)
But its failed to install. By the log file i came to know that internally its fetching wrong file path i.e, http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...armel/Packages

Here are my catalog settings
Name: Extras-devel
Web Address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

Could you let me know where I'm wrong, if you have understanding on this.
