Thought I'd share some hints for reference, these are not so common knowledge among "normal" users.

If a package is not compatible with the Maemo environment (optional dependancies missing, compiled with wrong options or something like that), you also try to recompile the package yourself. To do this you can simply issue the command fakeroot apt-get source -b <package> if you have the approperiate deb-src entry in apt's sources.list file. Any source code distribution that has the debian directory can be build as a debian package with fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage in the source directory. Add a -b option if you only want binary packages. > >Find package which contains a file: > > dpkg -S <file> > > > >List files in a package: > > dpkg -L <package> > > > Thanks a lot! I didn't know that this is also possible with dpkg. Apt and dpkg are powerful tools when used right :) -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
