I haven't updated anything on my N800 (Maemo 4) for a while. Now I come to do it, I am having problems with the Application Manager.

At first it was OK, but I then got an out-of-memory message.

Since then, I can't start it without getting Operation Failed.

The log says:

hildon-application-manager 2.1.19.1
apt-worker exited
apt-worker: can't truncate lock /var/lib/hildon-application-manager/apt-worker-lock. No space left on device read: Bad file descriptor.
Using df to check space, /mnt/mtdblock4 is 99% full.

What/where should I delete?

I would start with your documents area. Any big downloads you don't need anymore? Anything you can move to a memory card?

Then if your browser has such a setting you could try clearing browsing history, etc.

Do you have any apps storing data in the device's main memory rather than on a memory card? If so, can you move the data? I'm thinking e-mails & media files mainly.

Hopefully that should get you enough space to work the Application Manager again. There, you can sort your apps by size and delete those you don't need.

I found a couple of unneccessary files that could be deleted and got the usage back to 93% and application manager now works.

Time to tidy up methinks!

Thanks.

Not so fast, batman!

Still have problems.

When I try to install Canola2, I get an error

Conflicting application packages.
...
libcore0-desktop (0.9.9.050+svn38845-maemo1)
I guess I need to update that, but can't see which package it is in.

Help!

Edit: just seen that this is a Canola problem. Panick over.
