hello,

Looking for some assistance please, this program stopped working so I thought I would re-install, but am getting this error ,

Thanks for any help,

Hi Neville,

you can try the following (with root privileges):

then repeat the apt-get remove you already tried.
After re-installing those packages you can do the reverse if needed, i.e.
From the log you posted it seems there are other problems too.
for e.x. I would propose to do the following and post the results. (someone might be able to help on your other problems.)

hope it helps, Chris

Thanks Chris, I did the move and that did the trick, thanks for your support . About the apt-get upgrade, I read somewhere on this forum it was not recommended in Maemo?
Neville

the -s means that apt-get will simulate a upgrade, but not actually perform it, so one can see if anything will break.

Great!

As tso said, the -s will only simulate and will not do any changes. The intention was to check why you are missing so many updates.

It came to me later that you might be in the middle of a broken SSU update caused by those dangling symlinks. Could it be the case?

I tried the apt-get upgrade -s and a excerpt from the output is,

pre-installed-documentation-rx44 python-gdata
python2.5-Imaging python2.5-edbus
python2.5-edje python2.5-evas

Conf libcomerr2 (1.37-2sarge1 Extras:diablo, Extras-devel:diablo)

Does this mean anything?

Not sure what you mean by in the middle of a broken SSL ?

Thanks, Neville

Hi, some info on the SSU here: http://wiki.maemo.org/SSU

From your excerpt it can be seen that many python libraries want to get updated, which might be related to your previous problem with the Pybattery (?). Also, in general it is advised to disable the extras-devel repository.

If you'd like to get more advice I would propose to do the following:
The ">" sends the output instead of the screen to a file.

Then attach the update_log.txt file you will create in a new thread and ask for help on which of those updates missing you should install.

So, I decided to share RCs. Feedback is very appreciated.
Advanced Power 0.4.0-rc1
Advanced Power Monitor 0.5.0-rc1
