I receive this error when trying to install PHP on my Nokia n810 device. php5-cli: Depends: mime-support but it is not installable. This is with a fresh flash and I only add the Diable Extras-Devel from repository.maemo.org so I have access to the PHP packages. I have no idea what is going on but I’m creating this post in case anybody else comes across a damn mime-support issue.
My hildon-application-manager.list is as follows:
deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/ diablo user
deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/non-certified/ diablo user
deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/updates/diablo-2/ ./
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ diablo free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ diablo free non-free
Here is the full error when I try to install PHP from the command-line.

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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Package mime-support is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package mime-support has no installation candidateTo solve this issue I manually downloaded the mime-support deb package from repository.maemo.org/pool/.
