[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Enough theory...

[From: Aleksandr Koltsoff]

Hello all

"Component already included" -> Package Depends is wrong. Needs only depend on 
"maemo", nothing else. Also note that no pre/post-install scripts will be run 
from the package, so if package installation depends on them, it will break, 
but at least you won't get the nice & "descriptive" error message ;-). And as 
was noted, the installation root is /var/install ("making new 
packages"-document).

Of course the error might be caused because of other things as well, but this 
is what worked for me.
