Rrrrright, that explains this 37 pages thread...

I suspect that browserd is to blame and quitting the browser and restarting browserd should fix it for a while.
I couldn't test my "fix" since the tablet spontaneusly reboots itself

OK, I'm one of those "didn't notice any problems until I checked the control panel and saw 23-14" people. My application manager no longer shows the new upgrade available.

I didn't actually see the upgrade until today, and I upgraded before reading the thread. I did a backup, and restored from backup immediately after upgrading (which no one has mentioned. Was that a good idea? bad idea?)

Nothing seems to be not working. Internet is fine. All my applications were still there. Tablet is neither reboot-looping nor whistling nor smoking nor attempting world domination.

My question is: is there any harm in just waiting until the NEXT update and seeing what happens when I try to update through the application manager at that time?

Why, exactly, did you think you needed to restore the backup?

I'm sure I'll get zapped for not searching, so if you're that kind of person, read no further. But since we're talking about updates, does this seem normal: while many updates do seem to be arriving via the [!], and while updates also show up when I go to App Manager and refresh updates, some have not been showing up unless I go to edit the repository, then click OK without changing any repository details, and then closing the catalog management window. For example, this occurred yesterday when TrueJournals said that a new version of pyRdesktop had been pushed through to Maemo Extras.

Any thoughts?

The repositories only refresh automatically once every 24 hours. . . . There's no need to edit the catalog to force an update, there's a whole button just for that on the toolbar.

My repositories refresh every 60 minutes.

Gconf-editor FTW! (It's stored in /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval.)

Because I believe I restored the backup after the last manual flashing. (I could be misremembering, or remembering back to the (multiple) times when I tried to upgrade to 2008 in the first place and perhaps needed it...)

So, if restoring the back up negated the upgrade (if that's what happened), or whether for some other reason I am 30.2-less, is it reasonable to expect that if I just wait for the next automatic update, I can bypass this 30.2 and just jump on the train at the next stop? (... and not restore the backup next time!

Sorry, I guess I was unclear. I did use the button, and the update didn't appear (even though the app's author said it had been in Maemo Extras for a couple hours). But then when I fake edited the repository, TaDa!, it appeared. That was the mystery.
