In Chinook, I gave up using the hildon-application-manager GUI and
started using apt-get from the command line via ssh; it seemed easier.
I also added some packages directly with dpkg and wget/scp
Now with Diablo there is a scheduled update that keeps flashing at me if
everything is not up-to-date. I just figured out (I think) what is going
on, and still have to sort out my catalogues properly.
hildon-application-manager reads a catalogue list out of
/etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues (an XML file), and
creates /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list each
time.
"hildon-application-manager-config dump" dumps out the XML
"hildon-application-manager-config set" blows it away (duh)
"hildon-application-manager-config set xx.xml" resets it to the contents
of xx.xml
apt-get reads /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
If you add more lists, or edit hildon-application-manager.list (as I
did) you will have a sync problem and perhaps duplicate entries.
E.g. yesterday hildon-application-manager wanted to upgrade
rsync 2.6.9-2 to 2.6.9-2
maemo-recorder 0.2.0 to 0.2.0
maemo-mapper 2.4.1-os2008 to 2.4.1-os2006-os2007
while apt-get -s -V upgrade said
The following packages have been kept back:
maemo-mapper (2.4.1-os2008 => 2.4.1-os2006-os2007)
maemo-recorder (0.2.0 => 0.2.0)
The following packages will be upgraded:
less (394-4osso1 => 394-4osso2)
rsync (2.6.9-2 => 2.6.9-2)
I'm a bit confused why it would want to upgrade rsync to the same
version, and why it would want to downgrade maemo-mapper. Perhaps
something to do with my having had a Bora repository in the catalogue -
the newer Nokia repositories have a sort-weight entry which the older and
3rd-party ones don't, which may affect which repositories are searched
for updates first. maemo-mapper 2.4.1-os2008 is from Chinook while
2.4.1-os2006-os2007 is from Bora.
Right now I managed to blow away my XML catalogue completely and but
saved most of it by copying the dump from my xterm window. But I'm
missing some off the end, such as the <notifier> entry and perhaps some
of the keys.
- does anyone know where I can download a clean copy from
(without flashing!) or can send me a copy ?
