Have you got extras-devel enabled? Any unstable libraries? libc6 2.10? libstdc++6 4.6?

You must have made a typo. This:
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall osso-pdf-viewer=*
works alright. Did you type:
Code:
apt-get --reinstall osso-pdf-viewer

desolar 2012-06-07 11:04
Re: xterm help, please
 
i typed the command correctly ....ie ending with =*, i got that error. Then tried it without =*, nd got d same error. What shd i do?

Then the error shouldn't occur. Are you sure you typed
Code:
install --reinstall
For me the command
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall osso-pdf-viewer
causes no error.

If you're sure, show me the log.

It's what I said you typed incorrectly!!
you typed:
Code:
apt-get --reinstall osso-pdf-viewer
instead of
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall osso-pdf-viewer
Please read with comprehension what people write!!

Nope. I asked you whether you typed the wrong version :)
I was pretty sure you typed that way from the start.
But this may have seemed unclear, I made a mental leap

Edit the file you were cat-ing, so that before any command there's
echo "some text you may enter"

i dont fully understand what you mean. could you explain as am just an average n900 user

Re: xterm help, please
 
Your package system seems to be in a bad state. Try to forcefully remove the package and correct things later.
Please try
Code:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq osso-pdf-viewer
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
dpkg -a --configure
Hope it helps.

echo shows some text.
the idea is to determine, which program cause segmentation fault. But try michaaa's approach, this may be easier

Re: xterm help, please
 
Before flashing, try to apply some brute force: Remove the postinst script!
Code:
sudo gainroot
rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/osso-pdf-viewer.postrm
dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq osso-pdf-viewer
then try to apply the above code to correct your package system.
