Bumping...
What happens if you run 'apt-get update'?

apt-get update:

I can't believe, people keep doing apt-get upgrade. Who tells them to do that? Might as well ask them to double click the exe file in order to install this or that,,,

--------

The only error message I know of the OP is the ldconfig one, that is, AFAIK ldconfig belongs to the libc6 package. The other packages I know, but how they got messed up, no clue.

Apparently packages have been removed before that are needed now. Unless you know what package had files like "install-info" and such, I don't know how to solve it.

Well, I do keep doing "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" in order to update the packages. Sometimes, I use aptitude instead of directly calling apt-get.
And when I need to install something on Windows machine, the steps often are: download, check on virustotal, double-click the exe file.
Since libc6 package has some files lost, "apt-get install libc6" could be attempted. However, since dpkg seems to be unable to work due to these errors, the user might have to unpack libc6 manually, to get ldconfig in the filesystem.

I think what anthonie was referring to, was that apt-get upgrade often does bad things, and or leaves things incomplete. Using apt-get directly in Maemo is only recommended if you know what you're doing, and "knowing what you're doing" isn't the same thing as "knowing what I'm doing if this was exactly like debian or ubuntu".

As for the original issue, things looks very strange indeed. Key programs have gone missing...

OP seems to be from Syria... OP, could it be possible that your ISP is blocking access to Nokia's servers containing repositories?

Re: Problem in Terminal
 

Thats cool for you, but I believe this advice should always be accompanied by a thick hefty disclaimer. It simply isn't the same as a Debian distro. If I got a euro for every thread here on TMO, where things have gone bad for the OP's N900, and somewhere in the thread apt-get upgrade is being mentioned, I could buy myself another N900 second-hand from ebay.

Every time an uneducated person performs apt-get upgrade on a N900, Minerva chuckles and sighs. :D

Possibly, at least worth a try. But that's only one problem we were able to identify. Of the others it is quite unclear what manual measures ought to be taken.

As root, type "echo $PATH", and post here the exact output.

If this essential package is broken, something went terribly wrong. It might be necessary and faster to backup and reflash.

Nevertheless, you could try to extract the libc6 package withto fix this issue, but...
