I have never heard anything about the new vs older n900. This should however not cause you problems softwarewise..
I have not tried those programs you are talking about. But it could mean that they might not be supported on PR1.2.. i am not sure. You should try to upgrade to the latest version of the programs. Possibly enable extras-devel if necessary.
If you want any help... you will need to print out those errors you got. Otherwise it would be difficult to help.

You said you solved that one by installing it seperatly. So i didn't bother with it. You don't have to write every error down manually.. just copy/paste or attach the log.
What happens when you do it in terminal? Copy/paste the output..
As an example, i couldn't get the app "Moodlight" to install successfully at all. It kept showing the error: "libsdl-ttf2.0(>=2.0.9) missing", i tried using the apt-get install command in X-terminal and it downloaded the required files fine but it still doesn't work....

Try disabling different repositories, I forget which one cause problems for me with a python dependency.

Try use the terminal as it shows better what have gone wrong.
I am not sure if this is the correct path for the log.. but if you use "leafpad /home/user/.hildon-application-manager/last-update" it should show you a log. You will need leafpad installed.
You did right by this..
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0
But try with moodlight instead..
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install moodlight
Or all not upgraded..
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
and..
apt-get autoremove
If you want to install many programs at the same time.. then just add with a space between. "apt-get install moodlight leafpad libfribidio" e.t.c.
Or all not upgraded..
I begin to restore from the backup I made, and everything restored fine and most apps restored fine, except a few that showed error messages saying i'm missing a few key components. I can't remember exactly, but most of them are missing the libqt 4.6 or something like that.
Which is strange, since that shouldn't be the problem if i' updated to PR 1.2.
So now, i dunno if i should reinstall PR 1.2 again but using Maemo Flasher or using Nokia Software Updater, i'd rather not install again coz i had to leave it on for several hours to install all that crap so i dun wanna do that again if possible.
I'm not sure if it's really the problem due to me updating PR 1.2 through OTA (even though it was successful with no errors whatsoever), or whether it's because i'm using an older Nokia N900.
Just to give a quick re-cap, basically i bought my first N900 (brand new) on April 2010 this year. I then sold it after using it for 2 months coz i couldn't justify paying $900 NZD for it, even though it's a good phone. After a month, i started to miss it a lot, so i bought it again but from a different seller, and this time is a second hand one, which i bought for $600 and still has warranty on it.
However, this one seemed different, the keyboard is smooth, compared to the first one i had which was a bit rough. APPARENTLY, people told me that the one with the rough keyboard is the newer model, whereas the smooth keyboard is the old one.
Now, i've read a lot of posts where people had defected N900s, and that they had problems with updating to PR 1.2 or have problems AFTER updating to PR 1.2, and just a lot of problems with their N900 in general etc etc. I've never had those problems on my first N900, but now that i have apparently the old model, is this the reason why i'm having this problem??
I couldn't find any documentations on the differences between these models either. The only thing i know is that the newer models come shipped with PR 1.1.1 already, and when i got this second one, it had that installed already as well. Right now, i'm asking whether the seller updated it before selling to me, or whether it came like that. But anyway, if someone can provide some documentation or changelogs regarding these 2 slightly different models, it'd be awesome.
Anyway, i need help with this. Some stuff such as Easy Debian couldn't be restored because like i mentioned already, it requires those key components.
