Hello,

as of yesterday evening, installing a neo from scratch fails.

a.
package tangogps is not available any more. That is easy to
fix. Replace the string with foxtrotgps in install.sh.

b.
However, zhone cannot be installed, which leave the system
in a fairly unusable (for me) state:

* Zhone GUI: Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  zhone : Depends: python-ecore but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: python-edje but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: python-evas but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: libevas-svn-06-engines-x but it is not installable
          Depends: zhone-illume-glue but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
[failed - check pkg-fso mailing list]
I: Installing freesmartphone.org software - done


While this information is useful, install.sh does not exit at this point.


So, poking around a little, I have the impression that maybe zhone
needs to be rebuild with newer depenendcies, or replaced alltogether
by something else.

Ideas?
Erich
