SSU 5.2008.43-7 is available

[X-Fade]

A OS2008 Feature upgrade (SSU) is available now. Check your Application Manager :)

I haven't found a changelog yet.

I have upgraded my N810 without problems.

[Peet]

Note to dual- or multibooters or those wishing to "clone system to SD": penguinbait's (http://penguinbait.com/) installer-tools and bootmenu-installer deb packages will not be updated for this or future SSU releases.

At the moment the easiest way to clone to SD seems to be by doing the operation while still using Diablo v4.2008.36-5 or earlier, and then performing further SSU updates (e.g. on the system on SD card only) and reinstallation of bootmenu as required.


For updating the bootmenu only, bunanson has step-by-step instructions (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22771).


From now on penguinbait will only support his new multi-purpose console-tools (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=251238) package!!

[vinc17]

SSU is not installable here: libc6 is missing.

[aot]

Based on modified packages at least Modest, Browser, Bluetooth components and Flash player have received some updates.

[EIPI]

My update was flawless. The version number in 'About Product' is now unknown! :(

[bigr3dd0g]

nothing shows up on mine :(:confused:

edit: nvm rebooted now it's there. lets see what happens..

success! what actually happened i have no idea :)

[yegaoo]

Mine rebooted twice, but besides that, everything seems OK

I just find it a little bit snappier that's all I can say : )

[Rebski]

The version number in 'About Product' is now unknown!
Mine shows up correctly as Version: 5.2008.43-7

I am just happy to see that work continues on the OS

[fanoush]

There is both new initfs and new kernel, bootmenu installer needs modification, I'm examining initfs changes.

[fanoush]

OK, I have uploaded updated initfs_flasher.tgz and it works fine on my device.

Looks like linuxrc script in initfs is same, only /etc/initfs_version is bumped up to 2008-43 and there are some binary changes in busybox and other stuff. Nokia changelog since previous (0.95.19-200835maemo2) version:

The others packages in this update or don't have a changelog file (? I think if you follow the debian policy (or the Maemo one) you need put a changelog in every package), or the changelogs are full of "Fix: NB#XXXX" (more about this topic here (http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail//maemo-developers/2008-August/052655.html)) without any other text, or they aren't relevant.

Unfortunately, Nokia don't wanna publish a changelog, neither let to the community write one :(

[NateLikesClaire]

If you are concerned your battery is too low to make it thru the restart, you will be prompted to plug in the charger during the update.

[Gorgon]

Easy enough update, no issues this time. Last time I had to do a full flash.

[tso]

seems there is new map software as well.

[deter3]

After upgrade , I got the feeling that the system or touch screen responsiveness is even better . Other than that , I did not feel too much improvements .

[Stskeeps]

For the users of the .deb bootmenu with bootmenu.d item support from bootmenu SVN (from Deblet and Mer for instance):

http://packages.tspre.org/pool/user/b/bootmenu/bootmenu_1.4_armel.deb

I haven't tested it either but updated it based on fanoush's release.

[Den in USA]

Caution: During the upgrade the unit will turn off by itself, be patient, it will turn back on.

[anidel]

I really would like to have a look at what changes are in this current release of Modest.

[gbgb]

So am I premature in thinking this has fixed the "pushing key once causes multiple repeats" bug (#2723)? I can't reproduce it after upgrading.

If true, thank god. That was driving me mad.

[yerga]

More information here: http://repository.maemo.org/stable/4.1.2/maemo-sdk-relnotes_4.1.2.txt

Though it's related to the SDK, it has some of the bugs fixed.

[EIPI]

In terms of bug fixes, the only thing I've seen is this from the SDK 4.1.2 release notes (http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/diablo/maemo-sdk-relnotes_4.1.2.txt). Some of them are likely particular to the SDK, and not the device firmware though.

Anybody else get a complaint about bluez-utils being missing?

the update says it can't find bluez-utils 3.28-0osso4, but I have that installed. :confused:

[qwerty12]

Do you have extras-devel enabled? I think you may have more success if you disable it as extras-devel contains an old (now) version of bluez-utils.

Reason was bluez-utils-test and minigpsd which I had manually installed. Because application manager won't remove user/ section packages to install other packages, upgrading didn't work.

Error message message is totally wrong, and correct behaviour would be a question if user wants to uninstall applications in order to upgrade.

[daperl]

This is excellent, but in a small attempt to spread some chear, how many of us remember the last Nokia holiday season:

Ollie: "Swen, come on we're gonna be late for the party. The vodka is getting warm. And don't forget to turn out the lights."

Swen: "Alright, alright! I'll be there in a second. I just have one more thing to do and that is that! Whew, I didn't think I'd make it in time."

Ollie: "Come on! Let's go! You're not messing with the DNS are you?"

Swen: "No, no. Don't be silly. And besides, who is going to be playing with their tablets this time of year anyway. Cool. Done. Outta here. [talking to the machines] Now behave yourselves and I'll see you next year. Oh yeah, the lights."

Ha! I forgot about that. They've come a long way since then. The update didn't even bork itself this time due to the user guides being removed by the user ;)

[Gujustud]

Just installing the upgrade on my 810 right now as well.

[alephito]

Excellent. First SSU without reflashing required (for me).

In App Manager, check for updates. It should show up there.
i.e. On the App Manager 'Main View', click 'Check of Updates' --> then hit the little refresh icon in the lower right corner

[GeneralAntilles]

Error message message is totally wrong, and correct behaviour would be a question if user wants to uninstall applications in order to upgrade.

Correct behavior is for applications that don't belong in user/ to not be in user/.

[D'ohboy]

Ok, I feel silly for having to ask this, but are the steps for updating a dual boot system: 1. Apply ssu to the OS on the SD card using app manager or should I be using x-term, 2. Update the one on the flash, 3. Then run initfs_flasher?

[Peet]

On this page (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21344&page=4) (-> OS2008 -> "Bootmenu Installer" ) there are useful tips about updating systems with bootmenu.

I did that on my N810 & am still not seeing it. 'About Product' is still just showing 4.2008.36-5.

[superbondbond]

Reason was bluez-utils-test and minigpsd which I had manually installed. Because application manager won't remove user/ section packages to install other packages, upgrading didn't work.

That was it. I had removed minigpsd a while back, but forgot about bluez-utils-test. After removing that too, the SSU installed.

Thanks!

[mobiledivide]

Painless install, everything is working as it should be no loss of applications... I don't notice too much of a difference I guess I'll wait for a detailed changelog.

[D'ohboy]

Should dual booters be using the app manager or using apt-get upgrade?

[GeneralAntilles]

Should dual booters be using the app manager or using apt-get upgrade?

apt-get upgrade is never the answer unless you know exactly what you're doing (especially with Fring out there adding the will-brick-your-tablet SDK repository). Just re-flash the bootmenu after you upgrade.

[Dr Tran]

I did that on my N810 & am still not seeing it. 'About Product' is still just showing 4.2008.36-5.

Same here. I wonder why it wont update

[speednut]

Lost internet radio station favorites after the upgrade, but no issues after restoring them from backup (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25579).
Could be caused from me not waiting for dual-boot instructions? No issues otherwise (aside from need to figure out "reflash the bootmenu"; off to search ;))

[GeneralAntilles]

My update was flawless. The version number in 'About Product' is now unknown! :(

Rerunning the osv postinst as root should fix it. It's not really important if it doesn't bother you, though.

var/lib/dpkg/info/osso-software-version-<tab>

It depends on whether you're on an N800 (rx34), N810 (rx44) or N810W (rx48) and whether or not you're using unlocked. Tab-completion will tell you which one.

You can confirm quickly by checking osso-product-info.

[jacobmattison]

One slightly goofy side-effect -- I don't have (and have never had) the "Speed contacts" applet selected for my desktop, but after the upgrade it was selected. Odd. Aside from that, no issues at all.

Thanks, this worked. I had to reboot my N800 for the change to take effect in the control panel though.

[fpp]

No problem on good ole N800 here. Disabled all exotic repos first, checked for minigpsd and bluez-utils-test (already gone), and all went well. Just had to deselect speed-contacts (no RSS) and all was back to normal. Battery level took a hit though :-)

[Nelson L. Squeeko]

No problems installing the update here. Which I'm very glad. Last two times required a reflash, this time if I did have to reflash, I'd have to find a computer since mine recently died.

[GeneralAntilles]

Well, the good news is that the causes of reboot loops in the past were fairly simple, so fixing them wasn't horribly difficult. SSU really isn't a bad system, it's just that Nokia's crappy testing procedures (basically, "apply update to freshly flashed tablet" which, of course, works perfectly) and the limited nature of these devices (running out of space on the rootfs isn't a fun thing to do) combined for some very nasty results.

Nokia's new to this game, and they still don't fully understand SSU, but slow progress is being made and I think we'll be somewhere pretty good by the time Fremantle hits.

[petur]

Reason was bluez-utils-test and minigpsd which I had manually installed. Because application manager won't remove user/ section packages to install other packages, upgrading didn't work.

Thanks! Removing bluez-utils-test was indeed the trick.

[chatterbox]

Updated smoothly, but I (obviously) lost my screen rotation... Which I generally didn't use anyway (except when masquerading as an iphone for mobile gmail), so I'm not too upset.

Before this update whenever I was creating a Backup, the resulting file was 59-60 MB
After this update the Backup file is only 8, yes EIGHT MB.

Is this correct or it's a glitch?

Thank you:confused:

Went smoothly on my n810 with a multi-boot of Diablo and Chinook - woot!

LOL, as a precaution I also downloaded the fiasco image from nokia as I figured I'd be reflashing...

How long did it take to finish the update and self-reboot on an N800 ?

I did the update on my N810 and no problem, all went fine. But on my N800 the update seemed fine, the blue progress bar finished and a little "Updating" square popped-up on the upper right corner of the screen. The "Updating" square has been there with its "rotating dot animation" (if you know what I mean) for about 10 minutes and nothing happens....

Shall I just interrupt this ? and reboot the machine? wait (till battery drains) ? ..... I have no weird things like rotate screen or things that made the previous SSU's sort of crash...

Your comments are appreciated, TIA.

I solved the problem by doing an: apt-get install libc6 , and it updated both the libc6 and libc6-dev, and then I was able to upgrade using Application Manager.

[lma]

The upgrade went smoothly, but I have two side effects:

a) Boingo fires up and logs on every time I connect to any AP.
b) (may be coincidental) I haven't been able to get a GPS fix even once since the upgrade. Rebooting doesn't help, agps-ui says the cached data is valid. Maemo mapper currently (30' after startup) shows 9 bars with strength values in the 27-34 range (which do change, ie the gps driver isn't stuck) but no fix.

Battery life increased considerably. Full charge gives me now 10-11 days on stand by. used to get max 9 before. maybe the monitoring is now more accurate. never really timed it. anyone else noticed this? its pretty weird.

It may just be that the estimate is now more optimistic - even if someone volunteers to go without a tablet for a while in order to test it we won't know the result for 11 days ;-)

FWIW I always got a 10 day idle estimate on a full charge with previous diablo versions.

[vinc17]

I had the same problem. I used PackageView to find anything with libc6, and noticed i have libc6-dev installed.
I have libc6-dev installed, but normally this should not be a problem since it can be upgraded too (apt-get can do it).

I solved the problem by doing an: apt-get install libc6 , and it updated both the libc6 and libc6-dev, and then I was able to upgrade using Application Manager.
This may be a bit dangerous not to upgrade everything at the same time. BTW, the old osso-software-version-rx44 version depends on libc6 (= 2.5.0-1osso9). So, upgrading libc6 (and libc6-dev) only should not be possible.

Do any of you get a "not enough memory" error? How can I download it to another location? Or get to download the deb from somewhere? I don't want to uninstall my apps for this. Thanks for your help.

Do any of you get a "not enough memory" error? How can I download it to another location? Or get to download the deb from somewhere? I don't want to uninstall my apps for this. Thanks for your help.

I had to remove the user manuals and the nokia video to get enough free space.
SSU works without any problems like it did the last time.

[Carlozzo78]

Thanks GThreepwood, I already removed all that is possible, but I have many apps installed. 19 MB is quite a lot of space, I wonder why they don't put an option to choose the download location for packages. Any other hints/workarounds? Thanks.

It may just be that the estimate is now more optimistic - even if someone volunteers to go without a tablet for a while in order to test it we won't know the result for 11 days ;-)

FWIW I always got a 10 day idle estimate on a full charge with previous diablo versions.

i keep seeing that 10 day estimate to, but i have a 3% battery drop pr hour (or had, before the update), making that basically impossible...

[stevem]

I did have a problem with the update as it halted partway through with an error. On rebooting I had the speed contacts applet displayed, but the wireless would not see any connections. I had to reflash in the end to fix the problem, so not especially pleased - I would have thought any sensible upgrade process would roll itself back to the pre-update state if it failed halfway through, so as to leave things in a consistent state. Not very impressed.

I lost my internet radio stations too.

Same here !

And my menu has changed back to original (Everything in Extras)

I restored the settings (which you cannot select without email !) and got the radio back but the menu is gone !

I used Modest yesterday evening after the update.
I had to disable the automatic mail download feature with previous versions of Modest and I wasn't using it for more than a month.

I played with it a bunch of minutes yesterday and it feels like it's working now, surely a lot better than before.
A few bug fix I've noticed:

a) if the focus is on the folders and you tap on an already selected mail, it used to open it straight away. Now the first tap simply moves the focus on the mails list, a second tap would actually open the selected mail

b) when opening a mail folder, the selected mail was, usually, a very old e/mail and I had to move up to the newest one. Now it does that automatically

c) 95% of the times, Modest stuck while Retrieving mails. It didn't happen once during those minutes I played with it. It would have done it FOR SURE with former version

d) feels snappier

What I consider a bug:

e) If it can't connect to a mail server, it pops out the account details telling me that the password is not correct. Rather annoying, pretty useless (usually is not the password that is incorrect), and Modest is stuck waiting for an answer (i.e. looks like it won't download mail while waiting, need to check tho).

Overall, I feel like the biggest improvement, for me, is Modest. Probably I can now handle my e/mails on the tablet! (Something I was supposed to do since the 770 :p).

It's now got an area where you can use the keyboard (on your N810, or drive yourself batty with the vkb popping up on the N800) to type in the phone number instead of just using the giant dialpad buttons, and has turned into a drop down that will let you choose phone numbers that you dialed previously (not from your contacts, but recent numbers). I could be wrong, but I don't recall that being there before... the button positions have definitely moved though.

If you currently have the regular osso-software-version-rx*4 package installed, try removing it, and then see if you can then upgrade libc6 and the system. I know this can be a bit dangerous, but if you want the system upgrade, and don't want to uninstall libc6-dev and lose your build environment, this may be the only choice. It worked for me.

apt-get -f install is used without any further arguments (-f for "fix"). This will finish configuring the packages that were left unconfigured after the first attempt errored. It is not for re-installing osv after it's been uninstalled.

If you want to reinstall osv after you've removed it, simply run apt-get install osso-software-version-rx34 (for the N800).

I would not recommend removing osso-software-version-rx?? which as you said is dangerous, but rather installing osso-software-version-rx??-unlocked, which isn't really. Unless you're in some situation where that wouldn't work either (and I haven't seen one, though I'm sure it's possible), just play it safe.

Your post was about Radio Stations, what has this to do with Playlists?
Something similar we can do for Playlists?

looks like they are simply files stored on the internal file system that should be automatically added by Media Player, instead they are not.

I tried to upgrade to 5.2008.43-7 and got the error about bluez-utils which prevented installation. I had not installed minigpsd or bluez-utils-test, so I was confused. Through shell access, I installed bluez-utils, thinking that dependencies would be satisfied. It installed just fine.

Now, the update has disappeared from the Application Manager. So, I try to install it through the shell with "apt-get install osso-software-version-rx44" and it still refuses to install because bluez-utils is more recent than it wants. I have bluez-utils 3.28-0osso7 and it wants 3.28-0osso6.

For reasons unknown to me sdk repo seems to have 3.28-0osso7 while the catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com repo has 3.28-0osso6. Disable sdk repository (for good) and try updating. You possibly have to downgrade bluez-utils first

I have seen microb speed increases after the last two updates, BUT they vanish over time. Seems to me that SOMEthing is accumulating that slows the browser yet is eliminated with refreshes.

I think it's just the excitement for the new release, it's too soon for the effect to vanish (updated yesterday).
I'm also rebooting the tablet quite frequently to change batteries so that may help avoiding the accumulated garbage effect (think browserd).
Anyway, loading this forum took forever the day before yesterday (i.e. before the update) and it takes forever now.
Opening a link in a new window and switching windows takes the same time than before the update if not more.
All of the browser bugs that annoy me are still there (windows topping themselves when they finish loading, no open in background window option, scrollbar that goes all the way down with just one click), so I cannot say I noticed an improvement, speed or otherwise.
At least the update was smooth (notwithstanding that it cleaned my radio stations, but since listening to internet radio drains battery like there's no tomorrow that may be a feature ;))

I know this can be a bit dangerous, but if you want the system upgrade, and don't want to uninstall libc6-dev and lose your build environment, this may be the only choice. It worked for me.

I preferred the safe way. So, I uninstalled libc6-dev (and its dependencies), upgraded with the Application manager, then reinstalled the removed packages.

Perhaps I could have used apt-get (from the X Terminal) instead, as it could handle the libc6-dev upgrade at the same time as SSU, but it is not clear whether the Application manager does something specific for SSU.

Not in Microb, but a few changes to the X server have been put in place. May be some helps speeding up rendering and / or scrolling .

It seems that after the upgrade the "ghost lines" problem in mypaint became worse.

When I lift the stylus in mypaint and put it down somewhere else on the screen, both points are being connected with a line.

Then it complained about osso-icons-default not being upgradeable - no repository found containing it. I checked /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list and a backup copy I'd made and re-added the line

deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/updates/diablo-2/ ./


That fixed that. It still didn't install the update from app mgr, saying lack of memory which I know to be wrong, so back to the command line. This is what I have at the moment:

Are there people who still don't see this as an "update"? I have yet to get the notification (in North America). This happened to me last time, too. Argh. I really don't want to reflash.

Two days. Still no update prompt. I've tried the App Manager. The Nokia System repository is enabled. I'm re-reading this thread to see what might be the problem and what the fix is. I think I also had this issue last time.

No, it just outputs that because you've updated it from the CLI using APT. If you close that terminal you won't see these warnings and errors anymore.

Maybe you editted the specific rc script. If it is editted it won't be touched by default during upgrade. Purge mediaplayer-daemon and install it again.

no, this time round, I've not tweaked the tablet much at all, but your idea's a good-un.

--edit-- there's a huge dependency tree under mediaplayer-daemon. however, because I marked it and a bunch of other things as requested for delete and then unmarked, it allowed the dpkg--configure to work its magic. Hmm, well, App Manager reports nothing available, and apt-get-upgrade now reports nothing new, am still on 4.2008.36-5 :-(

Its always nice to blame the user having modded their device ;). Did this suggestion solve the issue??

[speculatrix]

ok, after much ranting and messing about, using dpkg-r to mark packages for removal and then reinstalling them with "dpkg --reinstall install xxx", I finally reached the point where nothing was blocked upgrading and nothing was (autoremove) was going to be removed by accident. Couldn't remember what package it was that would actually do the version upgrade, so searched for rx34 and found it, did "apt-get --reinstall install osso-software-version-rx34-unlocked" and it's all done.

phew!

BTW, my apt sources looks like this:

[tz1]

There is a problem with /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d which is run by metalayer-crawler upgrade (and supld, and most other daemons) in the debian pre/post inst/rm scripts. They can't stop/start the daemon and fail so it will constantly say it isn't configured.

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3938

and

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3948

explain the problem in gory detail, but within the script it is doing a "ls -Q" which quotes the filename, but the busybox xargs leaves the quotes on, so instead of testing file xyz, it is testing "xyz" (with the quotes as part of the filename) which fails.

I can think of several fixes, but I don't know if it would work across all calling scripts and packages.

[allnameswereout]

Keep in mind a custom kernel you might have installed is overwritten, so such might also influence (perceived) speed of the device.

[tz1]

After some more checking, having a real "ls" can break the install (not just the xargs).

If in an xterm you can type "ls -Q" and it returns a list of files in quotes, it will break installs. If it gives a usage and bad option message, it will work (it is still broken but in a way that usually ends up working).

Updated my n810 without any issues, however when I dug my n800 out and tried to update it, it complained about some docs package that I've never heard of being required.
Looks like the update has a dependency on one of the previous OS updates, which is annoying. Guess I'll just re-flash this one from scratch, nothing on this device anyway.

Manually updated. The left side of my touchscreen is very inaccurate now. Is this a software or hardware problem?

edit: Could this be due to the screen rotation kernel?

[gerbick]

This came right in time for me to clean install as opposed to update. And it worked like a charm that way. In fact, the battery life has improved from my last update, as well as it seems about two steps faster in the menus and browsing. And I thought the last update brought the speed up a bit.

I didn't restore from backup, just installed much less and so far, so good.

[bunanson]

...In fact, the battery life has improved from my last update...I didn't restore from backup, just installed much less and so far, so good.

I may have to try this. My N800 would NOT last 24 hrs now. I HAVE to plug it in 2X a day, yes, 2 X a day, with my normal use.

[Serge]

Yes, xserver optimizations from 5.2008.43-7 improve fonts rendering speed and graphics blitting operations. This results in some small performance improvement practically everywhere, and in the browser too.

But the application which should benefit the most is fennec browser from mozilla. It should get a huge performance boost once/if they switch from 24bpp to 16bpp rendering.

I've been dealing with some medical issues of my mom's for the past few weeks, so I have not been able to read through this thread. Has anyone else successfully updated SD (with osso version test in xterm confirming successful update) only to have 43-7 Unlocked remain an option in the list of as-yet uninstalled updates?

Since you've been out, let me fill you in about this 43-7update.

If you want to be absolutely sure, you can try this, http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25673.

So far, I gather, the SSU update from 36-5 to 43-7 is fine on N810. However, if you have 30-2 or even earlier version, SSU will make you go thru each one of them, apparantly, you cannot jump version. And sure, I have 'phobia' about the version that requires user manuals document (36-5?). (I could be wrong on this one). There are sporadic reports that SSU update on N800 is NOT that smooth. Again, depends on how you look at things.

So far, my update is fine, I go thru flash, but now I gained more than I want. I need to plug my N800 2X a day, the battery would NOT last for more than 12 hr. I switched with a brand new Nokia battery, no dice. same problem :(

Reliability is not hardware-dependent. N800s and N810s will both update just fine as long as people don't screw around with their installs.

All osv's prior to 43-7 depended on the documentation.

[QUOTE=GeneralAntilles;252677]Reliability is not hardware-dependent. N800s and N810s will both update just fine as long as people don't screw around with their installs.

Well, I speak from what I read. So far, ALL the reported SSU problems are from N800s, I have yet to see even ONE from N810. Can we say N800 owner 'screw around' more often than N810 owner? Or simply there are just MORE N800s around than N810? Anyhow, my N810 is still running 24-13, and I am NOT interested to go thru 30-2, 36-5 then 43-7, especially the reported 'reboot loop', I guess reflash is my only option.

Yes, preinstalled-documentation-rx*4. It weighs in at around 20MB and would cause SSU updates to fail when the system ran out of space while updating.

[bunanson]

For better or worse, SSU wont even allow you to upgrade, "SSU features upgrade ..... RX44 documentations missing."

My N810 is running 24-13 on int flash and dual boot to 43-7. I made a clone from my N800 and stuck it in the N810. Interesting, uh?

Not particularly, no. They're the same hardware running practically the same software, of course swapping that software from one to the other will work.

I feel that battery life has improved. Visiting relatives, over the last few days I would have been bored to death without it*, so I'd be online from about 11am (using jabber/googletalk), rss reading, a bit of web browsing, and battery didn't run out till 9pm. Wifi set to moderate power saving, and wifi signal strength very good so I guess it was able to throttle back.

However, when I watched a few videos on videocenter the battery died within an hour!

* when it got really hectic on boxing day (26th) I went and "hid" in a back bedroom and did a system upgrade on my laptop from suse11 to suse11.1.

Open the menu for your "Home" screen and select "Set theme...". Your N810 is likely using Glasser, while your N800 is using Echo. You can also use the "Set background image..." option to choose the corresponding, well, background images.

Yes, that will happen if Nokia pushes another SSU. You can always manually check to see if they have a SSU out by going to the Application Manager and forcing a refresh to look for updates.
