Author Topic: 3.5.1 package manager ?? (Read 6783 times)

All,

3.5.1 package manager does not seem to operate properly. It shows installed packages. However attempts to use the configure option and create a feed do not seem to succeed. No feed entry is created This is a change from earlier releases.

Is this common? Is it working normaly for others?

What is required to create a feed entry beyond editing one in and clicking 'ok'?

Dan

I ran into similar problems, see if the thread here (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7004) helps. I found that a double entry was created at first, but the apparent duplicate disappeared after I updated the server list.

Hi Dan,
(If you have problems with portmap related messages while installation, fisrt
ipkg remove portmap)
ipkg remove opie-packagemanager
ipkg install -d root opie-aqpkg

Have Fun,
Sam

PS: I hope you have now a healthy Zaurus after all the hardware problems you had.

Sam,

Thank you. I will switch to opie-aqpkg

Is /root assumed with no options?

Off topic: Not yet; hope fully soon. In the meantime I am limping along.

Dan

Well you can try to install aqpk also to ram or card. The only thing is ipkg installed that the first time without any options to CF, while I had a WLAN card inserted to CF. That was strange for to install apps to my Wifi card :-)
So be carefull and tell ipkg where to install. As always I dont know if this is a bug or was caused by myself by always messing up new roms
Cheers,
Sam

I ran into the same problem with 3.5.1 CF was the default when I had a WIFI card in, it even reported the amount of space it could use on the CF card.

It looks like it would have installed to root instead but put the files into the cf subdir.

I just installed aqpkg, but I'm still unable to see any of the ipks on my CF card. When I switch to local packages, it just doesn't display anything. Normally I wouldn't have any problem with just using the online feed, but right now the only internet access I can get to the Z is through BT to my cell, which is far to slow to do much of anything with.

Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem as above, it can't see packages on my CF card. Any ideas?

ipkg install -d root opie-aqpkg

I could not find this package on the web... I found aqpkg, but not opie-aqpkg. Same thing, or no?
No icon appeared on my GUI after I installed this (although the package manager icon did disappear)
edit: the icon appeared after I rebooted my Z, but clicking on it does nothing.

So far, I am very dissatisfied with 3.5.1. I have not been able to succesfully install (and by that I mean install and use) any programs at all. To make matters worse, I cannot go back to my Sharp ROM, because the installer believes I do not have at least 17 MB internal free (on a fresh flash of a 32/32 image). I am starting to get desperate. I need to either figure out how to successfully install packages, or figure out some way of getting back to my Sharp ROM.

(preferably the former, cuz 3.5.1 looks sharp)

You can find it here:

http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl....1.6-r0_arm.ipk

but it looks like none of the GUIs work well, you have to use the command line tools ipkg and ipkg-link. Here's an example:

ipkg -d ram install pcre_4.4-r0_arm.ipk
ipkg-link add pcre

ipkg install -root zddice_1.0.0_arm.ipk

that worked. after reboot, the icon appears in GUI, but doesn't work.

ipkg-link add zddice

"Package zddice not found."

Irongeek · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2004, 01:24:03 pm »

zddice may not be the exact name ipkg-link is looking for, do a:

ipkg list

and see if you can find a package with a name like zddice.

A package manager is a non trivial thing, especially when it needs to talk to some under construction native library or - even worse - needs to parse output from command line tools.

I'm sure the Opie package manager author (drw) would appreciate patches for either packager (but preferably opie-packagemanager since aqpkg is deprecated) via opie-devel@handhelds.org.

Damn, looks bad for me!

You also need to install this:
http://www.openzaurus.org/official/unstabl....4.2-r0_arm.ipk

Or you could just set up the feed and it will download and install automatically. ;-)
