guys,

i can see a new maemo update available for my phone, but when i try to install it, it says "not enough space available". however, the file manager shows 17 gb available, and more than 1.5 gb available for applications. can anyone suggest how to sort this out?

Yes, and hordes of people have been, repeatedly, all day. Try searching the forum or just reading some of the existing threads about the upgrade.

This has been discussed many times in the PR1.1.1 thread, users shouldn't be adding the extras-testing/extras-devel repos if they don't know how to sort their problems out, anyways download rootsh, install it, open terminal, type root and:
Code:
mkdir /home/var
mkdir /home/var/cache
mkdir /home/var/cache/apt
mv /var/cache/apt/archives /home/var/cache/apt
ln -s /home/var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives
Also disable all repos other than the Nokia ones, ovi, and the maemo.org one.

1. Install and open Storage Usage.
2. Choose Scan Packages from the menu
3. Check what programs you've installed taken up much space, listed in red.
4. Open Application Manager and uninstall those horrid apps.

For example Abiword might use some space..

sorry to be posting again, but this is not working. and i don't have any packages installed from extras-devel or extras-testing.

thanks for your relatively polite tone!

but this is not helping either, have freed up more than 100 mb of space, but it still says "not enough memory" when i try to install the update.

same here, i have not installed any other repos as i only flashed my device days ago, but getting the same error message. i have 1.57Gb of application remaining so how is it i can't install a file of 16Mb.

Try to reboot and then open application manager and then update. Might work, might not.
