How do you install packages on Debian/N900/Maemo?
 
Every time I try to install a package with apt-get (e.g. links2), the phone reboots in the middle of the installation, the Debian image is FUBAR and I have to restore it from backup.

Do you mean chroot'ing Debian ? Easydebian ? And your phone reboots ? :eek: That's weird.

Is this only happening with FUBAR or does it happen with other packages as well?

Easy Debian.

Every time I run apt-get install on certain packages, particularly those with more dependencies, the phone reboots. If I install the dependencies one by one there it usually works without a problem.

The reboot usually happens at the point where APT is hung and the screen isn't responding much. If this part takes too long, the phone reboots.

By FUBAR I mean "fouled up beyond all recognition" - the Debian partition is toast. I can't install more packages because of broken files, running e2fsck breaks most apps already installed. And I have to restore from backup each time.

It seems that problem with swap, like when you mv or cp big files. You may want do some search about that. :)
