I dont know why there is nothing set as sticky but i would recommend to put a note here, that atp-get commands can/will brick your phone easily. You could do it with N900 (i never had problems with that) but one atp-get upgrade brought my N9 straight to Nokia Care. I heard of others with the same problem. Maybe this really should be made sticky as i guess that a lot of people wanna update their device via console.

Can you explain what you did that caused your phone to not work right?

"apt-get update" and "apt-get install" are safe, though.

oh okay, well you have to know that i am not a server administrator like a lot of N900/N9 owners. i am just a php developer who likes to be up to date at any time (even if doing updates on servers is something you shouldnt do anyway if you dont know what those updates do, someone said to me). i just say that here because i guess i am not the only silly wannabe administrator

N900 probably also dies with dist-upgrade.
At least mine did when I tested it twice at the same time: first and the last...

Yeah, dist-upgrade can break things if repositories aren't kept in consistent state always. Before doing apt-get dist-upgrade (if you really need to), try doing apt-get upgrade, check which packages are "kept back", and before confirming apt-get dist-upgrade check always what is being removed. Make sure it doesn't remove half of your system or any essential packages in the process

actually gui(app manager for certain OS) does the same, it's not the magic it does to update but the same apt-get update, so it's problem on you end
