[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] bora/INSTALL.txt -> maemo-explicit: Depends: libosso-abook-dev but it is not going to be installed

[From: Alexander Farber]

Hello maemo developers,

I'm trying to install Maemo on a RHEL4 PC and am following
http://repository.maemo.org/stable/bora/INSTALL.txt
but unfortunately I am stuck at this step (more details below):

[sbox-SDK_X86: ~] > fakeroot apt-get install maemo-explicit
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  maemo-explicit: Depends: libosso-abook-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Does anybody please have an idea what's wrong here?

Thank you
Alex


------------More details below--------------------

I'm trying to install Maemo at a RHEL4
PC by following the instructions at
http://repository.maemo.org/stable/bora/INSTALL.txt

I've unpacked these files under /scratchbox:
 49932823 Jan  9 12:31 scratchbox-core-1.0.7-i386.tar.gz
  9385873 Jan  9 12:31 scratchbox-devkit-cputransp-1.0.1-i386.tar.gz
  5055791 Jan  9 12:31 scratchbox-devkit-debian-1.0.6-i386.tar.gz
 98063806 Jan  9 12:31 scratchbox-devkit-doctools-1.0.5-i386.tar.gz
   970158 Jan  9 12:31 scratchbox-devkit-perl-1.0.4-i386.tar.gz
 14395788 Jan  9 12:31 scratchbox-libs-1.0.7-i386.tar.gz
 49751041 Jan 12 11:29
scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm-1.0.5-i386.tar.gz

scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-i386-1.0.5-i386.tar.gz
  4361391 Nov 30 18:31 scratchbox-toolchain-host-gcc-1.0.7-i386.tar.gz

and put 3 additional files under /scratchbox/packages:
  5205685 Jan 17 14:29 maemo-sdk-nokia-binaries_3.0.sh
 58767080 Jan 17 14:29 maemo-sdk-rootstrap_3.0_armel.tgz
 57803478 Jan 17 14:29 maemo-sdk-rootstrap_3.0_i386.tgz

Then I've run run_me_first.sh (selected non-sudo) and
added myself (afarber) using sbin/sbox_adduser.

Inside the scratchbox I've run maemo-sdk-nokia-binaries_3.0.sh
and have got these files in my scratchbox home dir:

[sbox-SDK_X86: ~] > ll maemo-sdk-nokia-binaries_3.0/
total 44
drwxr-xr-x  4 afarber nmpbo  4096 Jan  7 13:40 .

drwxr-xr-x  2 afarber nmpbo 12288 Jan  7 13:40 pool

After that I've added SDK_ARMEL and SDK_X86 targets
using sb-conf exactly as in the bora/INSTALL.txt.

Then I've selected the SDK_X86 target, set the
http_proxy env. var. to our corporate web proxy server
and appended a line to the /etc/apt/sources.list:

[sbox-SDK_X86: ~] > cat /etc/apt/sources.list

The next command from the bora/INSTALL.txt wants
to remove 43 packages and I enter "yes" there:
