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

[g.rkreddy6]

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.

Qt Mobility is not in extras-devel repository any more and it's good idea to add dist name to the install file as application manager uses "fremantle1.2" by default, which is not correct for extras-devel

[g.rkreddy6]

Sorry, I have little knowledge on maemo phones, could you answer the below questions.
how to add dist name to the install file
(or) How can we make application manager to pick "fremantle"

how to add dist name to the install file

By adding

dist = fremantle

How can we make application manager to pick "fremantle"

Could you please clarify the question?

[g.rkreddy6]

In the catalog if i keep
distribution "fremantle" or "fremantle-1.2", it will be locating the below path only
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../binary-armel/

its not locating "http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/dists/fremantle/non-free/binary-armel/"

Show me your .install file.

[g.rkreddy6]

[install]
catalogues = extras-devel
package = libqtm-location

[extras-devel]
name = Extras-Devel
uri = http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
components = free non-free

[divanov]

[install]
catalogues = extras-devel
package = libqtm-location

[extras-devel]
name = Extras-Devel
uri = http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
components = free non-free

And where is dist?

[install]
catalogues = extras-devel
package   = libqtm-location

[extras-devel]
name = Extras-Devel
uri = http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
dist = fremantle
components = free non-free

But as I've said libqtm-location is not in extras-devel any more.
