It's probably waiting a reply from some repo which doesn't respond. It should eventually timeout and the log should show what repository it was.

2. While installing user could choose which version to install. I for one don't know now which version I'm running of Pidgin Protocols Plugin, since the decsription said it was from -devel/-testing.
There are some technical difficulties related to that.
First, fapman only keeps record of the latest version of every package available (since that's what apt-get normally installs anyway when asked). Changing that would require a lot of work.
Second, it's possible to tell apt-get to install a specific version of a package but the dependencies would still get pulled from whatever repo that has the latest versions of them. Could lead to problems.

Multiple repositories are shown for packages that have the same version of them available in all of the listed repositories. It also shows you the version number, you know...

If you don't want to install from a certain repository, then you'll have to disable it.

For this reason I uninstalled it again. Now I cannot upgrade any program with the built-in appmanager. And I can't install fapman either...
It's likely that there are broken packages/dependencies in your system. Running apt-get from command line should reveal those.

Could we get an option to where fapman stores cache? I'd like to reuse the apt-get update. For example, I could schedule apt-get to update every few hours when a certain wifi is up (like home) so that my repos are never over a few hours old. I can't use that with fapman. I understand that separation helps with confusion, but an option can't hurt, right?

Also, is it a decision to not remember the last sort order (reverts to name ever app start) or is it simply not implemented yet?

Oh, and, a small bug (might be already reported): When in portrait mode and updating catalogs, the "finished" yellow banner reverts app to landscape and it doesn't rotate back until I go to landscape and then portrait again.

Mayyybe... But you could run apt-get update with the same parameters than fapman does as a workaround (you can get those from the log).

It's not supposed to remember it, because there's an option to set the default sort order.

Looks like a broken python package somewhere...

Version 0.6.4

* show user/hidden category apps in the list of installed apps (remove only)
* show "recommends" and "suggests" in package dependencies if there are any
* check rootfs and opt free space on startup and warn if low
* option to disable automatic catalog updates
* option to start fetching changelogs immediately when package dialog is opened
* warn about immediate conflicts when selecting a package for operation (note that this does not notice all possible conflicts)
* don't use hildon banner in portrait mode
* use the proxy settings for fetching package date information and changelogs
* package list read speed optimizations
* switched to garage bugtracker

Source is now available from garage too (git).
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/fapman/

When reporting bugs to the bugtracker, please note that broken packages/dependencies (probably the majority of errors you're going to encounter) are NOT fapman bugs. I will mark those as invalid unless they are reproducibly related to some other bug. Use this thread instead for reports about broken packages if you have to.

Maybe one more bugfix release (if required) and then I'm going to try what kind of feedback I get from extras-testing...

recently, I've been getting a few errors in FAPMAN. (Love this app btw) It occurs when trying to install/upgrade anything. It will say an error occured (does not say which specific error) and says to look at the log. Also when trying to use the built app manager, I no longer see any apps. Just says non availible.

The olg says:

E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header

Earlier, I wasn't able to see "Angry Birds", "Bounce", "SPB Brain Evolution" in the fapman. But with this latest version, I am now seeing all my installed apps.

Great Update and a Great app/tool...

Thanks again

The built in app manager is a POS. It says not available but if you hold on to your patience, after few MINUTES, the app starts some processing (circle revolving thing) and then it lists the installed apps.

Today morning, the built-in app manager took around 15-20 minutes to list my installed apps. For the curious, I have installed around 20-25 apps. May be even less actually.

Extras/Ovi/Devel/Testing catalgoues were enabled.

fapman is a breather for my N900.
