If it is the package that is the "final straw" that pushes a user to 100% full filesystem, next time they boot, their system will be bricked. This has happened to *many* users with a variety of packages (I don't know of any cases of it happening with yours, but it can happen with any package that writes to the NAND). There are lots of reports of people bricking due to full NAND on talk.maemo.org, for example. -Jeff _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
