I'm a newbie with a 770 running OS 2006 3.2006.49-2.
For example, I'm following a HowTo(maemo.org/community/wiki/) and am
instructed to install a package.
In the Application Manager I add a New Catalog with these entries and
then refresh the list:
Web Address: http://repository.maemo.org/
Distribution: mistral
Components: free non-free
The package referenced in the HowTo is not listed, but a Google
search in repository.maemo.org does show the package listed several
times with locations such as these:
/pool/scirocco/free/source/o/
/pool/maemo2.1/free/o/
/pool/gregale/free/source/o/
What do the "Distribution:" and "Components:" entries in the
Application Manager do? And, how is the "Web Address:" converted to
an actual file location?
A second example, again following a HowTo(maemo.org/community/wiki/)
and instructed to install package e2fsprogs as root.
In X Terminal (as root) I enter:
apt-get install e2fsprogs
Dependencies are then determined and after several responses, the
result displayed is that 6 new packages will be installed.
The package installation attempts fail with entries like these for
all 6 new packages:
Err http://repository.maemo.org mistral/free (package name)
1.37-2sarge1
404 Not Found [IP: 168.143.241.80 80]
Failed to fetch http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo2.0/free/
e/ (package name)
/(dependency name)_1.37-2sarge1_armel.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 168.143.241.80 80]
What is happening that causes these packages not to be found? They
are there in repository.maemo.org but with differing paths to their
locations.
