how do i apt-get the newer of the 2 updates? Can someone walk me thru xterminal?

the safest way to do that upgrade is OTA (over the air). this only works when you haven't installed apps from testing/devel and have enough free space on your root partition.

the other way (which you are told to go when you haven't enough free space in app-manager) is connected to pc and using pc suite - for being more precise the nokia updater.

i would recommend you to NOT upgrade within the terminal, but if you want to:

you have to be root in terminal and then type:

BUT:
be careful with this one, link /var/cache/apt/archives to somewhere with enough space! OR YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE!

so this is the way to go:

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING EXACTLY - USE UPGRADE VIA APP-MANAGER OR PC SUITE!

DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE UPGRADING!

Please note - I upgraded to 51.1 with apt-get dist-upgrade. Even though I had 55MB free on the rootfs, the upgrade stopped in the middle due to lack of space and I needed to clear 20MB more, so it best not to try it unless you have more than 70MB free.

In addition, after apt-get dist-upgrade finished and I rebooted, application manager still offered me the upgrade to 51.1, which included 5MB of packages. Only after this, did my upgrade finish. I did not test if this last upgrade was also available with apt-get.

you can reboot after disk space has ended and about 20-30mb of disk space appears. after that dpkg --reconfigure (or whatever it was, apt-get was kind enough to tell the whole command) plus apt-get -f install did the trick.

That assumes that the broken update left the system in a bootable state, which I did not want to assume.
Yes apt-get is really nice in that it tells you exactly what to do when something goes wrong.
