Perhaps I have some extra repositories enabled. libhildonfm2 comes from repository.maemo.org, but apt-cache policy doesn't show me if that's the extras repository, or the SDK repository. The monstrously-looking $ sudo apt-get install --print-uris -d --reinstall libhildonfm2 command tells me it lives in http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.0.1/free/libh/libhildonfm/libhildonfm2_1.9.49_armel.deb which seems to be the SDK repository. Yes; if I disable the SDK repo, libhildonfm2 becomes non-installable any more. I think packages in the Extras repository should not depend on packages not available from Extras, to prevent exactly this kinds of problems. On the other hand this requirement seems to require many packages to be duplicated between the SDK and the Extras repositories. I don't know what's the official Nokia or Maemo community position on this issue. > I've gone to a site that lists a lot of > repositories and it says the chinook maemo.org repository has the lib > (and there is a temporay chinook library - not sure why).

And you won't -- libraries aren't supposed to clutter up the application list, so they're hidden. You can see them only if you enable red-pill mode or use the command-line tools. > For some reason, when I try to display any pdf using > the native pdf viewer, it always says the files are corrupted.

In my opinion, all unresolved dependency problems are packaging bugs. Marius Gedminas -- "I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry.
