Because the "lib" packages you list are not 'user' packages.  The
error message is a bit misleading, granted...

I'd say it is correct: the "lib" packages are not supposed to be
visible in the Application manager.  They are considered part of the
system, like "libgtk2.0" etc.


Spoiler alarm: The Application manager can be put into a mode where it
treats all packages as user packages, regardless of their section.
It's a hidden setting, but should not be hard to find...


Also, I am getting this idea of adding a "dir://" method to apt that
will treat a random directory full of .deb files as a repository,
creating the "Packages" file etc on the fly... maybe this already
exists.

Ok.

Where can I find? And how do I set?

"Also, I am getting this idea of adding a "dir://" method to apt that

I download the useful part of repository (Packages, debs, etc). And I add to the the catalogue:
file:///media/mmc1/repositroy.maemo.org mistral-beta free
but the application manager try to connect internet and operation failed.

Shouldn't that be file:// ?

No, the difference would be that the dir:// method generates the
Packages and Release files on the fly, based on the directory
contents.  The file:// method just expects the Packages and Release
files to be available in the filesystem.

Thanks, your help, but

"The sources are here:

  https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/osso-application-installer/"

What can I do this source? Sorry, but I don't understand.

"You can use the "assume-connection" setting in
/home/user/.appinstaller to suppress connection requests by the
Application manager."

without xterm?

And where are this scritpst to modifying the root filesystem?
    *  make_rootimage.sh
    * dlocate.sh
    * droot.sh
    * conf.sh
    * strip.sh
    * tar2jffs2.sh
    * releasenotes.sh
    * gconftool-wrapper
https://stage.maemo.org/svn/integration/trunk/rootimagescripts/ is wrong.
