[maemo-users] [maemo-users] Problems after installing MaemoDict

[From: mrn at post.cz]

Hi,
I am having always the same problem after installing MaemoDict
http://www.industree.org/guaka/wiki/MaemoDict
(http://www.industree.org/guaka/wiki/MaemoDict)
on a newly flashed Nokia. The thing is that after trying to install 
it the machine says : installation failed . Following no other SW 
could be installed, and also, no SW can be fully uninstalled. The 
machine giving messages like "unable to install", "unable to 
uninstall", etc . This happens always right after installing 
MaemoDict!!!

Another thread showed that a "fast" way of fixing it is to reflash 
the machine.
Before I was not sure that it is MaemoDict. So I flashed the machine
twice, tried to reinstall python and MaemoDict.. Now i am sure it 
isthe Dict making this problem!
I've heard that there is a database of installed application which 
gets corrupted -most probably- in such a case, but I have no idea 
how to fix it..


when trying 'dpkg -l':
dpkg-query: failed to open package info file /var/lib/dpkg/status 
for reading. No such file...
'dpkg --audit gives the same error!


Since I am most probably not the only one trying to install 
MaemoDict, pls help, so that other people do not need to reflash 
their machine just because of this trial..

btw, is there any dict for 770? 
thnx, mrn
