I finally succumbed and installed RC5, and while I like the look and speed, I'm about ready to throw the Zaurus across the room. Or get rid of pdaxrom again.
I've never had so much trouble with the package manger. I do an update, and it says it downloads and saves the list (according to the log), but the file isn't there. The available packages are blank. No amount of restarting X or rebooting or praying to the Zaurus gods changes this.
I change the feed, and it continues to download from a previous feed, claims to update the list, and doesn't.
My internet connection is fine. I can browse the web, etc.
If I try to do a manual install (ipkg install -d root packagename.here) it insists on trying to download it, not use it off of the source (an SD card in this case) and fails miserably.
When it was moderately working earlier, it failed to install every package I tried. It insisted on installing them in //usr/tmp/ipkg/packagename and yes, that's two //. Even if I had / as the destination, it attempted that non-existant, impossible // thing.
I've attempted to edit the ipkg.conf file, but vi refuses to allow me to save (ZZ does nothing, as does :wq).
Before I dropkick this thing, anyone have any suggestions?
