@unexpected,

fremantle version is xarchiver 0.4.6-7fremantle7. You are installing diablo version.

Check your repositories. Something is very weird.

ok can you tell me from where should i install the xarchiver of frementle version.

I've seen it's available from my-maemo.com: http://my-maemo.com/software/applica...to=1032&faq=63 Not sure if that info's any good to you.

I'd be interested in seeing which catalogues you have enabled:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

also, you should run the following:

$ apt-cache policy xarchiver

With this we might learn the reason why apt-get is installing the wrong version.

If you're in a hurry and just want to get over this, go to http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...6-7fremantle7/ and download the .deb, then install it using dpkg:

(as root) # dpkg -i /path/to/xarchiver_0.4.6-7fremantle7_armel.deb

@stickymick
thanx for ur try but still the same problem

@reinob

~ $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.li

@unexpected,

I guess that this my-maemo.org repository is causing the problem because it seems to have priority over maemo-extras (probably because apt-get thinks that 0.4.6-7maemo2 is newer than 0.4.6-7fremantle7).

To quickly solve your problem now I would either install manually zip and p7zip, or simply run "apt-get -f install" to fix the dependencies (i.e. install zip and p7zip).

Hopefully once you do that xarchiver will be configured (i.e. postinstall will be executed) and (again, hopefully) you won't get any error message.

Once everything is OK you can (1) continue to live as until now, or (2) remove my-maemo from your repositories. Honestly, I had never heard of that catalog (thought it was just a web site). In general extras and extras-testing and extras-devel are more "reliable" than "third party" catalogs.

If you keep my-maemo catalog apt-get may complain from time to time that your version of xarchiver needs to be updated. If this bothers you you can "pin" xarchiver to that the version is fixed.

what do u mean by that?,sorry cant understand clearly :P

i deleted My-Maemo repository & enabled devel,testing repos to install the dependencies.
i tried apt-get -f install xarchiver:

xarchiver is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xarchiver: Depends: zip but it is not going to be installed
Depends: p7zip but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

then i tried as suggested above:
