Hi everyone,

I try to install a git client on a jailbroken Kindle PW3.

According to postings in other threads, debian armel packages from wheezy or jessie releases should be suitable for PW3.

I have made some attempts but can figure out how to install the binaries into my Kindle. (Connectivity is no problem, USBNet is up and running)

The only package management system available on the PW3 seems to be dpkg. I have downloaded git_2.1.4-2.1+deb8u7_armel.deb and get the following response:

Code:

dpkg -i git_2.1.4-2.1+deb8u7_armel.deb
dpkg: can't open '/var/lib/dpkg/status': No such file or directory
mkdir /var/lib/dpkg
touch /var/lib/dpkg/status
dpkg -i git_2.1.4-2.1+deb8u7_armel.deb
dpkg: package git depends on libc6, which is not installed or flagged to be installed

The last row makes me catious. libc6 should already be installed in the linux image, as many parts of the kernel depends on it.

Does anyone know a more suitable approach to install git binaries?
Would it more appropriate to make a Kual package?

Software:
Kindle PW3, firmware 5.11.2
Jailbreak 1.15.N r15987
USBNetwork N 0.22.N
Kterm 2.4 (but i prefer ssh from laptop via PuTTY)
BusyBox v1.28.3
Linux version 3.0.35-lab126
Screensavers linkss 0.25.N r15989
Kual v2.7 gc2948b8 (20190404)
KOReader v2019.06

Hardware:
Processor: ARMv7 Processor rev 10 (v7l)
Hardware: Freescale i.MX 6SoloLite based Wario Board
