I tried to install evince this afternoon, and it failed due to insufficient memory; now, the application manager cannot find any applications, installed, available, or upgradable.

App manager is failing to connect to any of the catalogues I have enabled, so I can't even refresh. Starting app manager gives me an "Operation failed" error message. Rebooting does not help.

Failing any other advice, I suppose I shall have to reflash. Everything else still works, though, so I'll wait for the weekend.

Ah. I moved several galleries of pictures from my home folder to my external memory card, and voila we're updating again.

Answering my own question, I ran apt-get remove evince from root. First I had to make some more room in home memory, so I removed all the non-English user manuals I'll never need.
