[Tinyos-help] Cannot install both tinyos-avr and tinyos-msp430 from Ubuntu repository

[leith]

the repository has been updated. clean out any of the old tinyos 
packages you may have and then run:

  sudo apt-get update

that should pull in the updated package list.

now you can install the tinyos-avr and tinyos-msp430 packages together.

thanks for bringing this to attention.
