(The following might not be entirely accurate since I have no experience whatsoever with Ovi myself, and not much experience with the Fremantle Application manager.) There is unfortunately a big difference between installing a package from a repository and installing a package from a single foo.deb file. When installing a single foo.deb file, the Application Manager does _not_ automatically install missing packages, it only does this when installing packages from a repository. Since Ovi delivers single foo.deb files to the device, their dependencies are unfortunately not automatically satisfied. You just get an error that they are missing. This clearly sucks, and it only works this way because I have pretty much totally neglected installation from single deb files. It's a different code path in the Application Manager, and at least from me, it didn't get any love. The reason for this negligence is that I didn't think that anybody would want to install single foo.deb files, and if I remember right, the feature was actually disabled at some point. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
