This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.
I got that as well when I "apt-get install'ed" from UK 1.2 to generic 1.3, after having upgraded a few hundred packages. I ran 'apt-get update', and then 'apt-get install mp-fremantle-generic-pr' again. There were a few other problems, but it upgraded OK in the end.

Do i need to hae extras/deve and testing aactive?
Why would it be required to have unsupported repositories enabled to get a supported update?

Only I'm sure when we updated to PR1.2 we needed to switch of these catalogues to be able to get the update.
It is probably not recommended to run 'apt-get upgrade' or similar with extras-devel or extras-testing enabled. You should probably only have the nokia ones and extras enabled when trying to upgrade.
