I had problem with hildon-initscripts. do it: 1. open x-terminal 2. sudo gainroot (you need rootsh package installed) 3. dpkg -s dpkg -s hildon-initscripts | grep Vers it should be "Version: 1.26-1+0m5" I had : "Version: 1.26-1+dp1" to fix it you have to downgrade it: 4. apt-get install hildon-initscripts=1.26-1+0m5 5. apt-get upgrade You should be able to upgrade now....
