I don't think HAM handles this, either, in which case the package should automatically handle this, such as making a backup and silently overwriting. Since this is an app for Maemo, the official installation method is via UI.
IMO, this is package side. At least warn that it requires CLI installation.

I'll still try if I can make it prompt the user instead, but probably that's out of the question...

Could you make it to automatically select all updates so we don't have to tap each one of them manually?
Thanks
Thanks

Only today I got to install Fapman and have to tell that It is absolutely amazing. So fast.
Of the things that I hated most in my N900, one was the App Manager and the second one was the Phone app. fapman solves one issue. Waiting for a similar solution to the other one.
Thank You @hqh for your wonderful work.

And with the increasing number of repositories and apps it was a nightmare to use. I just hope one day this will completely replace the app manager!

N900 dead and Nokia no longer replaces them. Thanks for all the fish.
Keep the forums clean: use "Thanks" button instead of the thank you post.
