Did that, and everything was installed properly. Interesting side bar, though, doing an apt-get upgrade (I did not commit this) gave me

Code:

The following packages have been kept back:
  libsdl-mixer1.2 perl-base
The following packages will be upgraded:
  avahi-daemon avahi-dnsconfd fcam-drivers
  libbavahi-client3 libavahi-glib1 libclutter-1.0-0
  libdmtx0a libgcrypt11 libhildon-extras1 liblongcat1
  poppler-utils python python-all python-cairo
  python-conic python-evolution python-gobject
  python-minimal python-osso python2.5-qt4-common
  python2.5-qt4-core python2.5-qt4-gui python2.5-sip4
  tracker-extractor-vorbis

The interesting part is that there are no updates pending in the application manager. The only one(s) that *may* affect the desktop are libhildon-extras1 and libclutter-1.0-0, but these only provide libraries (libhildon-extras-1.so.0.0.0 and libclutter-eglx-1.0.so.0.1.4 respectively). I did not do the upgrade because since the device is so dependent on python, I didn't want to risk breaking things.

also try removing the battery and holding the power button down for a few seconds before replacing it

if nothing works, list your recent downloads, it could be one of them

Hmmm...Is there a way to generate a list? The logs are kind of sparse compared to a Debian box...There I can look at /var/log/apt/history.log.

Thanks,
