To provide some more clarity, when Teppo said "1) apt-get update does not install slang1a-utf8 if sources.list is not correctly set ( i.e. I messed up)", it took me a while to figure out what needed to be done to the source repository list.

slang1a-utf8 is only available in the SDK repository.

If you're manually editing /etc/apt/source.list/hildon-application-manager.list add the following:

deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/sdk free non-free

If you're happier using App Manager, then add a new catalogue:

Catalogue name: Fremantle SDK Web Address: http://repository.maemo.org Distribution: fremantle/sdk Components: free non-free

Once you've done that and reloaded the repositories, Mutt will install using apt-get.

Hi, Sébastien,

You are correct. The reason why I originally made the wrong conclusion was:

1) apt-get update does not install slang1a-utf8 if sources.list is not correctly set ( i.e. I messed up), and 2) The GUI installer of N900 claims that the package you referred is uninstallable.

Hopefully this helps those who seek this page for information on a similar issue..

Thanks once more for the reply!

From what I can understand, slang1a-utf8 has been removed on i386 target, not on armel, you should be able to install it on N900. See: http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_sdk_free_armel/slang1a-utf8/1.4.9dbs-8/

I've just "apt-get update" and "apt-cache show slang1a-utf8" works as expected.

I was delighted to notice that mutt is being ported, thank you for this !!

This package depends on slang1a-utf8, which has been removed from this repository; see http://maemo.org/packages/view/slang1a-utf8/ . How to install ?
