Disable all repos except the official ones (extras, -testing and -devel are fine)

Rob1n, that is just what I want to do. But the mp-fremantle-generic-pr package is not on my n900 anymore. I think it was removed because apt-get told me a 'long' time ago that it was not needed anymore... so it was removed. Therefor I want to reinstall it but thn get the mentioned error message concerning the hildon-initscripts version mismatch (probably caused by some other strange update I may have done in the past...)
So I want to know the contents of the mp-fremantle-generic-pr (e.g. dpkg -L mp-fremantle-generic-pr) or like download the package manually somewhere.

You could try forcing the installation of the correct hildon-initscripts package:

YES! this allowed me to reinstall mp-fremantle again/
It actually just runs an osso-product-info command to set version info.
Before rebooting it seems nothing has happened, but after the reboot all is fine again!
Many Thanks to Rob1n

These instructions seem to ignore regional versions..
dpkg -l |grep "^ii *mp-fremantle[^ ]*-pr" |awk '{print $2}'
Should tell you which package you need to reinstall
dpkg -l |grep "^ii *mp-fremantle[^ ]*-pr" |awk '{print $2}'

this does not help much when mp-fremantle-* is not installed.
You might figure which one you need by
grep "Package: mp-fremantle" /var/lib/apt/lists/*

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!
After having some problems with the overclock kernel I reverted back to the stock kernel.
But now the version info in the settings about screen shows "unknown". 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
E: Broken packages
Is there another way to fix this? I tried to force just download of the mp-fremantle* package, but this gives the same problem. Adding the -f switch to apt-get does not help.
I also tried to download the package manually using wget but this fails. I probably do not use/know the proper URL for the package.
Is someone willing to show the output of:
dpkg -L mp-fremantle-generic-pr
Oreven better, download the package using "apt-get install -d mp-fremantle-generic-pr" and make the package available to us?
I hope that can help to get the version info back
Thanks
