I'm having similar problems...many pieces of software especially those from OVI store (even paid downloads) report 0kb size and then say installation file corrupted.
Quite annoying...finally going to have to flash the device but I don't own a copy of XP.
I run linux but it is an x64 distribution...not sure if I can use that.

If Flasher-3.5 is not supported on your operating system you can try to install Maemo SDK Virtual Image from Maemo Development Environment Downloads page and flash Maemo device from Virtual Image (which includes Ubuntu). This may or may not work for you depending on how well virtualization technology you use supports USB on your HW.

Probably some part of memory is corrupted.
You should probably flash the whole device.
BUT: take backups first! Make sure everything you need is copied to PC so that you could restore it later, after flashing.

sudo gainroot
apt-get remove "the name of your app (without the quotation marks)"
apt-get autoremove
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-t...antle/install/
so for example, the very first app in that list is: 100boxes.install, then the appname would just be "100boxes", without the .install extension.
But i strongly suggest you flash your device, both the image (firmware) and also the eMMC.
I'm sure you can borrow your friend's PC with XP installed, i did that and flashed it very quick, the whole process took me literally 5 minutes

Ya that's what i did before actually.....i'm running Windows 7 x64 and had to install VMWare, and then install XP, and basically run it as a virtual PC and flash my N900. However, i could only flash the firmware, whereas flashing the eMMc doens't work, so the 2nd time i had to borrow my friend's laptop with XP installed on it....

The GUI front-end HAM has no idea how to process errors.
I doubt you'll need to re-flash however it would be EASIER.
$ sudo apt-get -f install
That probably won't fix the problem but at least it SHOULD indicate which packages are causing trouble.
If it asks you:
just type y and enter.
That should hopefully fix any dependency errors.
Please note: helloworld is nothing more than a sample/example package name and a place-holder for *insert name here*
If it asks you:
Then DO NOT type that in, you are nearly guaranteed to bork your install.
If it says:
Then you are in for a world of hurt. You can either re-flash or attempt the following.
<*insert standard THIS IS FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY - it may brick your device, kidnap your dog, or crash your car...*>
Method 1: Ignore Method
Remove the line listing the dependency in /var/lib/dpkg/status
via http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187293
---------------------------
If you have the error:
Method 1: Built-in script method(never works)
Method 2: Remove method (works)
Post the errors the CLI utilities give and a more precise assessment can be made. This of course assumes that you are experiencing "dependency hell" - if it's something else such as a corrupt Hildon Application Manager, well then that's another issue altogether.

Remove (y/n)?

If it asks you:
Code:
You are about to do something potentially harmful. To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!' ?
If it says:
Code:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: build-essential: Depends: helloworld (>= 1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
<*insert standard THIS IS FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY - it may brick your device, kidnap your dog, or crash your car...*>
Method 1: Ignore Method
Remove the line listing the dependency in /var/lib/dpkg/status
via http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187293
---------------------------
If you have the error:
Code:
Building dependency tree... Done E: The package helloworld needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
Code:
$ sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq helloworld
Code:
$ sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/helloworld.* /dev/null/

An easier way IMO to find the name is to:
Then scroll through the document looking for the closest match.
Alternatively you may get lucky with:

$ sudo apt-cache search keyword
