I have no idea
I thought that differential updates get used automatically by apt-get if the repos support it...

So, maybe, a log of installed apps in order, or, better yet, sort uninstall list by date installed?
Sorting installed apps by date will be there in the next version.

Uh... Maybe see the log for details?

/var/lib/dpkg/info is NOT just a cache and removing it's contents is a VERY bad idea. Dpkg can't really remove your installed packages after that.

It's intentional because reading the hildon app manager settings (where the disabled repos and names are stored) requires a bit more work Could be changed in the future.

It's not supposed to do it every time. It should do it only if the previous update has failed, if the catalogs are older than 24h or if the hildon application manager has done an update and changed the repo settings (system autoupdate in the background can do this). As a workaround you can use the "remove apps" shortcut in the main menu and then change the status filter, it bypasses the check. I'll add an option to disable the checks in the next version.

My repository list contains 8 entries, which are all enabled.
It just won't show anything to install, though.
Any ideas?
What does your log show after updating the catalogs?
