thanks for the replys (well some il ignore the others) @ ForzaHudd - i have looked at the thread, thats not the same problem i am having. My problem began when i had to reflash my n900, before this i was able to install any applictaion as normal. However since my reflash upon attempting to download and install the same applications, an error message appears, claiming that application packages are missing. for example, uponn trying to download "bluemaemo" the application packages missing are quoted as : Application Packages missing: libssl0.9.7 libssl0.9.7 libssl0.9.7 libssl0.9.7 libssl0.9.7 when trying to install "libzeemote-conf" different packages are missing, Application Packages missing: libbluetooth2(>=3.22) libbluetooth2(>=3.22) i get this same message when tryin to install drNokSnes again any help will be much appreciated, please keep your sarcastis remarks to yourelves you only waste valuable forum space and portray the image that i have come across many others complaining of, an unwelcoming community. thanks
