It looks like it is installed.

Then over to the next command:

Hmmm .. still this wget error

So what now? :confused:

(thanks! for your help sofar)

Re: n900 is dead-failed installing app and cant reboot anymore

wget for maemo does not have the option --trust-server-names, while it is a possible option for the i386 architecture, so the is a bug in the postinst script of the package.
Did you ever check the temporary log in /tmp?

To apply some force to get rid try

Code:

dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq ndg

Never checked that log - still a bit of a newbie in Linux ;-)

I did what you suggested, here is the output:

Quote:

/home/user # dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq ndg
(Reading database ... 65650 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing ndg ...
Removing ndg user...Ok
Remove ndg group...Ok
Done
groupdel: cannot remove user's primary group.
/home/user #

Is this OK now (cleaned) ?

Re: n900 is dead-failed installing app and cant reboot anymore

Should be. Try to check with

Code:

apt-cache policy ndg

Still to do: Removed the group for ndg users. Could be

Code:

delgroup ndg

And

Code:

apt-get autoremove

should remove the remainders of the dependencies like mysql-server

Re: n900 is dead-failed installing app and cant reboot anymore

Done !

Duplicate sources.list?

And

Klaar.

Tha't OK.

But it looks like it's clean now.

Re: n900 is dead-failed installing app and cant reboot anymore

For the duplicate sources.list entry try to delete the culprits through Hildon Application Manager. Some of these install buttons do echo the repository line into the repo file regardless of earlier entries.

I am sorry, but I do not understand that.

How do I identify the 'culprits' ?

Re: n900 is dead-failed installing app and cant reboot anymore

Start Application Manager, Open catalogs, scroll down the list and identify the duplicate entry for the extras repo, checkif it is really the culprit by disabling it, later when you will have checked from the command line with apt-get update, delete it.
