two ways to take care the appl manager problem: 1) try to clear the offending log, if sucessful, then close, show installed appl, and uninstall any prog you want. 2) Menu>Tools>Appl Manager>Tools>appl catalog, hi light the offending repo, edit>uncheck Enabled. If the log does not give clear message about which one is the offending repo, then you may have to enable/disable the repo one by one. Once the offending repo is disabled, then you will be able to refresh appl manager, and Show installed appl, and uninstall any prog you want.
