I contacted Nokia Care via mail and phone on this and I guess they tried their best.
I know of at least 1 bug report in Nokia bug tracker that tells this story.
And as I'm having no clue, I just wait in hope for PR_1.3 to fix this.

I also posted this issue on Nokia forums but that is not much help if things get tough.
So this great little community and forum is the best resource not only for devs, but for N9 users too.

89.9% of times this 3rd party app comes from guys like you (devs who test and announce here). And I often read "yeah, I know about the error messages... just ignore them and continue...". So far it always worked out for me, but I'm not installing anything anymore until PR_1.3 and proof of compatibility here.

AND often it is required to enable dev mode to install these apps.
But enabling developer mode does not **** up the repositories by itself, I guess?

Then this is a special problem not related to the original issue. You probably should open a new thread and share your findings.

So this issue comes down to ****ed up repositories by 3rd party apps? - Then please also share how to un**** them.
