I've been going through the ITT forum and although it's only(?) a power user issue, checking that SDK repo isn't enabled could save some grief in case user has forgotten to disable that. Or maybe the update should first disable all repositories that aren't needed for the update to make sure that they don't interfere with the upgrade process? Btw. As I didn't notice here a link to this, here's an excellent summary of the findings so far and some advise for power users who can use apt directly: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=229093&postcount=304 - Eero _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
