It was complaining about the version of hildon-initscripts to be installed being not compatible with mp-fremantle-generic-pr. Sorry for not posting it before, but I didn't have a connection for my N900 at the time I first posted. Thanks for helping out.

Turns out that hildon-initscripts that I had came from the tools repository.

After that I was able to put back the mp- package (and simultaneously install pr1.2) with a normal apt-get install.

Thanks very much for this. I thought I would have to dig how to pin down and downgrade everything, but there was no need. I just saw that my problem was exactly like yours and the solution worked. I had forgotten about "policy" and "=version"...
