so does it mean that am stuck with my n900 as it is???? was trying to install android and this is a major set back to me. any way around it?

Re: [SOLVED] apt-get error

There are no real negative implication for your intention to install nitdroid.

It is quite difficult to know from your one-liners, what state your phone is in right now, what the status of the package management is, what your linux knowledge is to install nitdroid. So please take your time to explain the backgrounds of the problems you are facing.
The more info, the better the chance to get help quickly.

I followed each procedure but when it came to apt-get update, that was the end cof it couldn't move any further. all I got was key expired an no more progress.

Re: [SOLVED] apt-get error

May be i got you wrong... Please nevertheless let me explain the full procedure to update the software on the phone in the 'Debian Way', aka. X-Terminal.

The "apt-get update" command does just update the list of available packages from the repositories that are listed in the file /etc/apt/sources.list or the lists in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ . the command checks the list using the keys from the repositories. The nokia key did expire last year, because those keys are only valid for some time. Nokia chose to abandon the ship,thus the key was never renewed. The message is just a warning, not an error message. It has no blocking mechanics attached to itself.

The actual command to fetch the new packages to replace old or faulty packages is 'apt-get upgrade'. This will download and install the latest version of the programs you have installed.

The full procedure would be

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

The first command to gain the rights to install, the second to update the list, the third to actually install the latest and 'greatest' version of packages.

All this has no implications to all the semi-broken methods to get Nitdroid installed on the N900. This is some mess of its own, but my knowledge about methods to install may not be correct any more as time goes on. You might need to check the nitdroid forums for their latest information.

apt-get upgrade gives me this reply
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qtedger: Depends: kernel-feature-errata-430973-workaround
but its not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Re: [SOLVED] apt-get error

Do you have multiboot or u-boot installed to select between different kernels??? Please check

Code:

apt-cache policy multiboot* u-boot*

Read through the output for installed packages.

If not: You need to have kernel-power installed to satisfy the dependencies of qtedger.
Try if this installs the kernel without any errors

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get install -f

apt-get install kernel-power kernel-power-modules kernel-power-flasher

If , ...and only if, no errors occur, please reboot to load the new kernel

Please try to Copy'n'Paste the complete output to avoid (unintended, but still) misleading, error messages.

Your repos seems to be incomplete or the update did not succeed.
Please post the content of the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list and the output of

Code:

sudo gainroot
