goto xTerm and type: "df -h /"

This will tell you whats left on your NAND (this is the problem HAM is showing).

See whats left. Also, removing crap will help.

Also, look here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_up_rootfs_space

Re: Can't install, or update any programs
 
sorry, short of time so my message was left short and not very helpful.

Thing is I know I have free memory, yet even installing an app at the size of 11kb will present the "Out of Memory" error, this doesn't happen in FAS, only in HAM. HAM is reporting incorrect readings on rootfs space for installable apps. Is there a way to reset apt-worker(?)'s incorrect readings?

I need to fix this bug, the new CSSU is out and I can't update any of the programs on my phone. Is there any way to reset dpkg memory readings/force update?

Do not use HAM to fix things use pure apt-get in a X-Terminal as root. The output of apt-get is most of the time useful to get what is blocking. Try
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Sometimes the -f option fixes things automatically.
