I stopped using dpkg except for dpkg -X package.deb directory_to_put_package/ There should be a way to use it, but it's tricky since dpkg is used for both /var/lib/install as well as / (root) Just stick to app-installer-package for most usual stuff. > > Are you sure this is caused by MaemoDict? > I was till today :( > but then i flashed again, installed some stuff without the dict (!), > and later the same messages appeared again without the Dict! > (I've got the latest OS image from the last week i think) > So, i am no more sure, I just know that it used to happen after > installing > meamoDict before, but now ...??:) I'm glad for my packaging skills. :) > >You can install the dict client for ARM from Debian.

I will try it. Definitely, coz' I simply need dicts. that > was one of the reasons i bought the 770. Well, the dict client is just commandline. Not very practical. Just try MaemoDict 0.1.7.3 or 0.1.9.3 that will be online this week. 0.1.9.x is using eagle, and making it a lot easier for me to do the gooey GUI part. 0.1.9.2 doesn't work properly because of a little problem in eagle (it wants to store application session data in a place it doesn't have permissions). Considering the PSP DSP stuff: at some point I wanna work on music software for the N770... ciao, Kasper
