<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 ?
</span><br style="font-style: italic;">

Thanks, Jan<br>

Description: Automatic Password generation<br>
pwgen generates random, meaningless but pronounceable passwords.
<br>
These passwords contain either only lowercase letters, or upper<br>
and lower case mixed, or digits thrown in.<br>
Uppercase letters and digits are placed in a way that eases<br>
remembering their position when memorizing only the word.

You need to change the Section part in debian/control to user/something
if you wan't to use the gui installer.<br>
This is documented somewhere ...<br>
<br>
My 2 cents<br>
