Hi,<br><br>I have ported successfully the command-line package pwgen
(pwgen - generate pronounceable passwords), a command-line password
generation tool.<br><br>I have downloaded the corresponding debian
package pwgen_2.05-1_armel.deb onto my Nokia 770. However when trying
to use the 'installer' (Tools - Application Manager - Package - Install
from file...), I found following information in the Package details,
tab common :
<br><br>Status: not installable<br>Category: admin<br><br>In the tab Problems is mentioned Unable to install. Incompatible package.<br><br>However,
when I use an xterm and try to install the package as root, with dpkg
--install the installation proces is working fine, and the package is
correctly installed.
<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">My question : what did I do wrong that the package isn't installable via the application installer ?</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Did I have to change things in the Debian control files ? Does anybody have any idea what could be the reason ?
