Re: Help, package remove error
 
Do you have the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/php5-common.postrm ?

If not create one as follows - then try to remove php5-common again:

Code:
#! /bin/bash

set -e

if [ "$1" = "purge" ]
then
    rm -rf /var/lib/php5
fi

exit 0
If that doesn't work - then like the error message says - try to reinstall it, and then remove.

apt-get --reinstall install php5-common
apt-get --purge remove php5-comon

Re: Help, package remove error
 
If the post-removal script dchky posted above is the one that's actually being used, then it will only work if you have bash installed. Either install bash or change the first line of the script to read "#!/bin/sh" instead.

Re: Help, package remove error
 
i did apt-get purge opera-mobile and also did apt-get install opera-mobile. i faced the same problem.....the strange thing is that when i tried to remove opera-mobile from faster app manager. i couldnt find it in the remove application.
although i have opera-mobile in the menu but its still there in the install application (as if its not been downloaded) in faster app manager.

Re: Help, package remove error
 
Stale NFS handle indicates file system inconsistency or corruption, you should fix it with fsck. Use options -af or even -r to repair this.

Here is a walkthrough for those steps:
Download Gparted-Live-CD.iso file or any Linux-Live-CD image containing gparted application
Burn Gparted-Live-CD to CD or DVD
Install Backupmenu to your N900
Reboot the N900 with keyboard ejected
In Bootmenu type 'w' to export the partitions in read/write-mode
Boot your PC from the Live-CD
If necessary start gparted
Choose the device (hard disk) in the upper right drop down menu should be some 30GB size.
Right click the first partition (approx27GB) and choose 'Resize or Move', use the right handle to shrink the partition.
Click 'Resize'-button (Dont worry you will be asked to apply actions later)
Right click on the second partition (approx.2GB) and choose 'Resize or Move', use the left handle to fill the free space created by the first resizing.
Do not touch the third, aka swap-partition.
Now click apply in the upper toolbar and accept the changes to be applied.
If everything is resized successfully, shut down the PC
On the N900 press 'q' to quit backupmenu and restart Maemo.

And some additional steps to get the same method working in a virtual maschine:
Start VBox, setup the virtual machine, but wait before launching it for the N900.
Shutdown your N900, restart it with keyboard out to have the menu to start BackupMenu.
In BackupMenu hit the 'w' to export the partitions 'read/write'.
In Windows close all the Explorer pop-ups, then configure the USB-rules in VBox. Add the NokiaN900 and every UnknownDevice, if any to your virtual Debian. Start the virtual machine to the desktop.
Now in Windows 'Remove safely' the N900 device through the status bar icon, but do not pull the cable! On your N900 press again 'w' to stop 'read/write'-mode, wait a couple of seconds to again enable 'read/write' with 'w'. Now the virtual machine picks up the USB-devices correctly. Start Gparted on the virtual machine and do what have to be done.

Though it might sound really complex, it may be done in 30 to 40 minutes.

Re: Help, package remove error
 
the process is way to complicated. the path that is given in the xterminal window. i.e home/user/.opera/cache. inside this path i have broken symlink which cant be deleted. i flashed my N900 and then installed opera. faced this problem.previously it dint happen. even if i remove opera the path home/user/.opera still exist. isnt there any other way to solve it.or remove the directory along with the broken symlink. i dont want to loose my emmc. it has got many imp documents. i am not in a position to backup 20gb. please help. and thanks for replying. i am not an expert so these steps are preety complicated for me

Re: Help, package remove error
 
@omar2100000
it is your /root directory which full i guess run these command in x-terminal df -h /
and see how much available space you got in there. if you dont have enough then type
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove

hope this help . ;)

./sifo

Re: Help, package remove error
 
hey rootfs is 227.8M 227.0M 100%
i want help cause i want install nitdroid :D

Re: Help, package remove error
 
You should remove a couple of applications to free some space to get the Phone operational at all.
Also disable some or all of your widgets on your screens.
Disable the extras-testing and extras-devel repositories.
Those three steps should give you some space to install rootsh and apply the code that sifo gave you.

You might try to get some more information by creating a file with debug information and attach that to your posting.
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
df -h > debug.txt
free >> debug.txt
mount >> debug.txt
du -kx / | sort -n | tail -n50 >> debug.txt
These commands create the file and writes information into the file, you will not see anything on the screen, grab the file in your Documents folder/directory.

Edit: For best results use copy and paste to get the commands to your X-Terminal application, because it might be hard to find '|' a character called pipe, not small L, or '>' on your phone's keyboard.
