From http://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian#co...ade_to_Squeeze :
Unfortunately Maemo has a very snappish watchdog that reboots your phone if it thinks it hangs due to a runaway process. This is almost certainly triggered when doing mayor package installations with normal process priority. So we'll do the dist-upgrade wit the lowest priority using the nice command:
Code:
nice -n 19 sudo apt-get update
nice -n 19 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I have not tried running apt-get with lower priority but it seems to work. In order to circunvent this problem which I've faced too, I first install the dependencies in small groups in order to reduce system hang time. This way I managed to get gimp, inkscape, octave, R, latex, openoffice and a lot of other softwares installed.
