x-terminal

sudo gainroot

apt-get autoclean

-------------------------------------------
Warning
Actually, this action may be dangerous ...(someone thought it is dangerous......But no problems for my device)
However, the problem of " not enough memory to target location " could be solved...................and then I updated my n900 to 3.2010.02 successfully....

There is nothing dangerous about apt-get clean. It _ONLY_ cleans out just-downloaded packages. Any operation by the application manager or apt-get that needs any package(s) removed by apt-get clean will automatically re-download the package. apt-get clean simply flushes a local cache. It's utterly safe, unless you intend to never again connect to the network.

Of course, 'sudo gainroot' implies some danger, if you execute something different than 'apt-get clean'.

What _is_ dangerous is that 'rm -rf' command originally suggested. Now that one is one to avoid at all costs. One typo and your system is viped out.

Application Manager occasionally looses knowledge of all applications. On my N810 a reboot solves the problem.

Application Manager menu-> Tools-> Log...-> Save as. Let's see if that gives us any additional information.

My interpretation of the log is that you're out of storage space. If I'm correct you could move some data files from maim memory to the internal storage.

How exactly can I do this? I've tried deleting a few files with file manager, but am I needing to delete something specific?
