I sorted my own problem out.
Recall: this work is being done on physical n900
First, I suspect when I mentioned version 0.6 I was looking at
the syncevolution front-end.
This got me leaning towards using the mameo package viewer page..
and in the end it worked fine.
Here is what worked for me...
I chose to install using the maemo package viewer page.
In each case I chose maemo extras testing to download the
deb file.
1) Syncevolution 0.9.2
Package is missing a dependency - it needs libpcre3
apt-get install libpcre3
Package does not meet app manager reqs - missing info field
so, use xterminal to install it
2) Syncevolution-front-end 0.6
Package is missing dependency - it needs python-alarm
apt-get install python-alarm
This package will happily install using app manager
The front-end starts fine...I have not yet set things up for further
testing.
