I did press Y, because i though it was f.cking kidding me. For the worst, it turned out that is was just f.cking me, without the kidding part.

Re: apt-get install tar -> kill yourself

I am pretty sure the above is the N9 so no battery can be removed. Secondly, tar on the N9 is a dependency of the meta package mp-harmattan and removing it too in turn results in most other system packages being removed as mp-harmattan is the glue holding all these packages.
It's a frankly stupid system implemented by Nokia but then you should not be accepting the dialog confirmation from apt-get...

Re: apt-get install tar -> kill yourself

well. you added development sdk repo to your device? kill yourself. this repo not for device, its for SDK scratchbox or chroot using :)

I tried similarly "apt-get install gzip" after I had received gzip ERROR in "apt-get ugrade" and it had similar result (removing many mainly pakages (5.x MB), and I press Y, but fortunately after restarting the phone is working and I see no problem apparently (I didn't add development sdk repo to my device).
What is your opinion?

Please tell me why would you need to do that, as tar should already be present on your device...?

Re: apt-get install tar -> kill yourself

Because it wasn't on the device: not found.

Anyway, i just though of giving a heads up with this thread. The whole thing restarted midway, the phone booted and just lacked a lot of apps, like call, messages, ..., etc. After reflash it's ok, along with settings and such. Just needed to reinstall some third party apps.

And equally for gzip: same as tar it's coming via busybox (although probably in a slightly limited version) which is included in default flashed image.

Code:

~ $ dpkg -S /bin/tar

busybox: /bin/tar



~ $ dpkg -S /bin/gzip

busybox: /bin/gzip



~ $ apt-cache rdepends busybox

busybox
