I recently installed pdaXqtrom onto an SD card on my C3100 (standard Sharp ROM) and it all works. Fine!
 Then I decided to install something else (can't remember) which also required opie-sh. So I installed opie-sh. Then I decided that whatever it was I'd installed I didn't want to keep and so uninstalled it together with opie-sh. A little while later I found that I couldn't start X or X applications via their icons. I eventually put 2 and 2 together and re-installed opie sh. Everything worked again.  So it appears that installing opie-sh replaced something similar installed by pdaXqtrom. I could leave things as they are but I'm afraid that sometime in the future, when I've forgotten about all this, I may decide that I don't want opie-sh and uninstall it again.  Can anyone tell me what in pdaXqtrom would have been overwritten, where it would have been installed and where I could find it again without going through the whole install again (One and a half to three hours worth). |

Why not unpack the ipk with tar (something like tar xzf opie-sh.ipk) and take a look if you know it's this very package?

This is a tar + gz (or ar + gz) with a different suffix and contains a file control.tar.gz (meta info + install scripts) and data.tar.gz (the files). Unpack these. It's either a file in the data archive or a script in the control file that's causing this problem, I'd say. I can be wrong of course. |
