aptitude
Hey list,

Has anyone gotten aptitude, the Debian ncurses based frontend to dpkg,
to work on under OS2008? I am using an N810.

Is there a repository available that I can use to install aptitude? It
also has a lengthy list of dependencies that hopefully are also
available in a repository.

Yup. I meant do you know of a repository that contains aptitude so I can
install it? Or do you mean it's in one of the above sources? If the
latter, I don't believe I can install fremantle (Maemo 5) stuff on the
N810?

Damn. That's too bad because I would have liked to have used it on my
N810. As I understand it, fremantle / Maemo 5 can't be installed on the
N810. Different instruction set (ARMv7+VFP).
