In Faster Application Manager there's no Qspot, so I can reinstall it.
In the original Application Manager, in the remove program list, Qspot is still here but it's not removable.

I remember that there's a file with a list of the installed, removed or to update apps, long time ago I've solved another problem like this searching and removing the string of the app that I wanted to not show again in the installed apps. But I can't remember the name..

Also, I can't update "qutIM extra protocols" and "qutIM extra plugins", it says:
"There is a version mismatch between your original package selections and some of the packages being installed from the repositories.
This could be due to your application catalogs being out of date"

And in the next passage:

"The following operations will be performed:
1 to install/upgrade, 1 to remove
Total download size:503 kb

REMOVE:
qspot***UNKNOWN*** 1.1.0-1

INSTALL/UPGRADE:
qutim-extra-protocols 0.3.1-maemo-0 (503 kb)"

And give me an error in the next step.

The same thing appens with the other package to update (qutIM extra plugins)

Sorry if I wrote a lot but I do not know what is wrong, qspot or others app

SOLVED
I've created two directories:
home/user/MyDocs/.qspot
home/user/.config/qspot

Run uninstall again, all fine.
The qutim problem it's not related.
It is likely uninstall might fail in case those directories are missing, as they should be present (auto-created) in case QSpot has been installed.
