This quoted post is not true, OTA update is available but there are packages conflicting with it if it tells you to use pc-suite!
If you look at the "info" tab of the package you will get notice of the conflict. if you now try to remove the package with "apt-get remove <package>" it will tell you the depending programs you then easily uninstall via app-manager. After you have done this you should be able to upgrade OTA.

Do not "apt-get dist-upgrade", it worked before but didn't most of this time. I would suggest do not even do "apt-get upgrade" as it will upgrade even with packages on hold back status if one of the conflicting libraries is installed. There is an installer script in the packages not conflicting, uninstalling most of the packages which wont revert that as the held back packages are missing.
Well, the upgrade went well, or so I thought. However, after it rebooted, I have no icons, no backgrounds and where the theme parts are are pink. In the upper left is a pink section where the status icons usually are only has the clock...And I also have a constant message saying "Internal error. Application 'Calendar' closed."

I rebooted a few times, then, yes, fell back to my Debian-ism and did an apt-get -f install, rebooted (no change) then did apt-get upgrade. It installed and configured the rest of the list of packages in the pkg manager (mainly dealing with mbarcode).

Anyone know what the pink bars with no icons indicates is missing? Or more to the point, know of a fix? I'm headed out to get the flash file, I don't have a problem with flashing it again, I just didn't want to if it wasn't necessary.

Thanks,
