I've noticed the name of the package changes between Maemo variations.. On the UK 203 variation it is:
mp-fremantle-203-pr

whereas on the global version it seems to be:
mp-fremantle-generic-pr

but either way, there should be a mp-fremantle-something-pr package, I believe

Gordonshowers: Glad to help out!

Yes, but some people have installed updated/modified versions of some of the core packages. This will force a removal of the mp-fremantle-??-pr package, as it's dependencies are no longer met. There is a warning, but without knowing what the package is, a lot of people have carried on. When the next firmware update is released, you'll see them all asking why they don't see the OTA update.

If they've scrubbed the main meta package, accurately replacing the version info would seem impossible?!
But for those who haven't.. and those using the non-generic variant, it would be good to use the right version..

apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr on a non-generic variant won't be healthy..

that being said:

osso-product-info -s OSSO_VERSION="RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.203.1_PR_203"

appears to be the command to sort it on my device

I did a uname -a command, and got:
Nokia-N900-42-11:~# uname -a
Linux Nokia-N900-42-11 2.6.28.10maemo-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Tue Apr 13 10:48:47 EEST 2010 armv7l unknown
****
What is supposed to be for the unknown value displayed above. I ran
apt-get --reinstall install mp-fremantle-002-pr
successfully, but I still don't know why I still have an unknow value.
Here is the output from osso-product-info
OSSO_PRODUCT_HARDWARE='RX-51'
OSSO_PRODUCT_NAME='N900'
OSSO_PRODUCT_FULL_NAME='Nokia N900'
OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_NAME='Maemo 5'

OSSO_PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME='Nokia N900'
OSSO_VERSION='RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.002_PR_002'

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I believe, but could be wrong:

osso-product-info is included in the phone's environment variables.. running that command, and indeed reinstalling the package can't change them.. since they were set at boot time..

reboot and you should be fine..

... I think..

I did reboot the device after running the install mp-fremantle-002-pr and ran osso-product-info, but I still get the unknown as displayed below:

The unknown variable is the device's processor. How do I install the processor value?
Thanks.

What does uname -a return on an unmodified N900?

Can someone with the stock version installed or unmodified N900, do "uname -a" command on xterm for me please?

This may be unrelated, see bug 8148 for another instance of it. If you figure out what caused it in your case, a comment in bug 8700 would be very welcome.

I tried to resolve this by reinstalling mp-fremantle-generic-pr but this fails because of an hildon-initscripts dependency failure:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mp-fremantle-generic-pr: Depends: hildon-initscripts (= 1.26-1+0m5) but 1.26-1+dp1 is to be installed

Try

Code:

apt-get install mp-fremantle-generic-pr hildon-initscripts=1.26-1+0m5

dpkg -L mp-fremantle-generic-pr

It's empty, this is a meta-package consisting just of a long list of dependencies.

Ignore the gray part, that's just the current hostname of the device.

Yours is obviously newer. If you have the original kernel in /boot/zImage-2.6.28-20094803.3+0m5.fiasco you can just run /var/lib/dpkg/info/kernel-flasher.postinst to install it, and reboot. Otherwise install package kernel=2.6.28-20094803.3+0m5 first.
