I am having always the same problem after installing MaemoDict
http://www.industree.org/guaka/wiki/MaemoDict
on a newly flashed Nokia. The thing is that after trying to install it the machine says : installation failed. Following no other SW could be installed, and also, no SW can be fully uninstalled. The machine giving messages like "unable to install", "unable to uninstall", etc
. This happens always right after installing MaemoDict!!!
I'm the author and packager of MaemoDict. Sorry to hear this...
Another thread showed that a "fast" way of fixing it is to reflash the machine.
Before I was not sure that it is MaemoDict. So I flashed the machine twice, tried to reinstall python and MaemoDict.. Now i am sure it isthe Dict making this problem!
I've heard that there is a database of installed application which gets corrupted -most probably- in such a case, but I have no idea how to fix it..
You could check out /var/lib/install/var/lib/dpkg/* (don't have my N770 close right now) and fix stuff there. That's what I did for other applications.
Maybe there's something wrong with the way I build packages. I also created .debs for GNU screen, binutils' ar, and other.
I will upload a new version as soon as possible. Maybe that'll fix it.
when trying 'dpkg -l':
dpkg-query: failed to open package info file /var/lib/dpkg/status for reading. No such file...
'dpkg --audit gives the same error!
Since I am most probably not the only one trying to install MaemoDict, pls help, so that other people do not need to reflash their machine just because of this trial..
btw, is there any dict for 770?
