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) User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0; U; en-GB) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00
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)
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
Fixed in internal week 42 build.
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.
