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.
