Installed apps forgotten.
 

My N900 has forgotten all my installed apps :( when I start faster app manager and then remove apps, the list is empty, except for the apps I installed today.
Same thing for the normal N900 app manager.

I have already tried to restart the device, doesn't help. Reinstalling apps doesn't work, the device knows somehow still what apps are installed. Removing with dpkg -r and then reinstalling the app again does make it appair in the list again, but reinstalling all the apps this wat is a lot of work...

I know there are possibilities to clean this list with dpkg. But are there also possibilities to rescan the installed apps?

Thanks in advance,

Allright fixed it:

dpkg --get-selections
returned that all the packages where marked as "uninstall" and apparently the maemo package managers do'nt support this.
So what I did:

dpkg --get-selections > installfile
vim installfile
:%s/deinstall/install/
:wq
dpkg --set-selections < installfile

And that fixed it :)

While I haven't had this happen to me (yet?) I am always glad to see solutions to problems. Thanks mate.
