still stuck on crashing camera here.
contantly getting this error which prevents me to install anything:

/home/user/MyDocs # dpkg -i fcam.deb
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 8577 package `kernel-power-flasher':
EOF during value of field `Maemo-Icon-26' (missing final newline)
/home/user/MyDocs #
happens to everything i attemt to install.
Some seems broken in the kernel. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling but all stays stuck on error.

Nokia-N900:~# apt-get install --reinstall kernel-power-flasher

EDIT:
found solution:, dpkg was corrupted.
fixed:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/available

cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
