Make sure you've not filled up the rootfs ("df -h" in X Terminal).

That should be okay then. You could try uninstalling using "apt-get remove" from X Terminal - that should at least provide more information on what's going wrong. You'll need to know the actual package name though.

Okay, there's some corruption in the files. I'd suggest going into App manager and disabling all the repositories, then exit, go back in & re-renable them all. That should force a flush & redownload of all the package metadata.

This happened to me to and this is how I solved it. You need rootsh and a console editor (or skill with grep and head+tail).
My /var/lib/dpkg/available file had become corrupted, something had added a lot of junk in the end. So as root I edited with nano and removed a lot of ^@ characters from the end and made sure there was an empty line last, just in case. Then App manager worked again.

When I try to uninstall any application with Application Manager on N900 the follow message is displayed:
Unable to unistall 'APPLICATION NAME'
The same error occurs when I try to install new applications or update with Application Manager.
Does anyone knows how to fix this problem?
Thanks!
