Did you remove the old .deb file?

Do I need to do that? All I did was update some info on my first/original package, and I added a new one.

If you an add updated .deb - that is to say, a new version of an already existing .deb - get rid of the one that contains an older version of the package within. For instance, say tapwidget_2.1.1_iphoneos-arm.deb is on my server. I update the widget to version 2.1.2, create a .deb for it on my computer, and name it tapwidget_2.1.2_iphoneos-arm.deb. I then upload it to my server. I should delete tapwidget_2.1.1._iphoneos-arm.deb.

Here's what I did:
1. Update some of the information for my already existing package.
2. Added a completely new page.

If you look through my Package and all the other files at http://drum.profilehouse.com/cydia, you'll see that nothing that is in the Package file is what shows up in Cydia...

One thing I noticed is that the Packages file is missing a section for "NiceSafariSplashGrey.deb". Is this a problem?

drumthrasher109 · 02-07-2009, 06:13 PM

I don't think it is...for the grey one, I name the deb file GreySafariSplash.deb.

Ok I fixed it. I had to delete the files here:
\private\var\lib\apt\lists\drum.profilehouse.com_c ydia_._Packages
and
\private\var\lib\apt\lists\drum.profilehouse.com_c ydia_._Release

Hey Lincoln, how did you get rid of the .DS_Store files? I'm having the same problems with most of my packages...

Is there a .deb viewer for OS X?

Type this command in Terminal before packaging the "MyProgram" folder:

find /Users/YourUsername/Desktop/MyProgram -type f -name .DS_Store -print0 | xargs -0 rm

Do I have to do that each time?
