Description pepitoe (reporter) 2009-10-08 14:40:11 UTC
SOFTWARE VERSION:
(Control Panel > General > About product)
1.2009.40-12

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
In Application manage enable the following catalogs: Nokia Applications, Extras
and Extras Devel.  Allow the catalogs to be updated and go to the Download
section to see the available categories.

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
There is only one 'Other' category at the end of the list.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
There are two categories titled 'Other' - one immediately after 'Office' and
one at the end of the list.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:
none

OTHER COMMENTS:
According to http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Package_categories 'Other' should only
exist for packages that do not declare one of the valid sections listed on that
page.

(Tested on Forum Nokia RDA device)

Comment 1 Andrew Flegg maemo.org 2009-10-10 16:02:58 UTC
Confirmed. For example, packages connection-switcher and doneit; one has
"Section: user/other" and the other has "Section: user/communication".

"user/other" is not a valid category, so packages with it should be put in the
catch-all section (which *happens* to be shown as "Other" in English)
Comment 2 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-10-11 23:28:54 UTC
There is a bug report internally already about that. When I am back on my own
computer I can even set the correct Alias here. :-P
Comment 3 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-10-13 16:27:12 UTC
Fixed in internal week 42 build.
Comment 4 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2010-01-14 12:26:44 UTC
The problem reported here should be fixed in the update released today for
public: The Maemo5 update version 2.2009.51-1 (also called "PR1.1" sometimes).
Please leave a comment if the problem is not fixed for you in this update
version.
