Hey guys,
yesterday i wanted to free up some rootfs space in case the new update would come in the following days.. i followed the HOWTO free up rootfs ( http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ht=free+rootfs )
and must have done something wrong. i must have forgotten a point in the code

Code:
sudo gainroot
mv /var/cache/apt /home/user/.apt-cache
ln -s /home/user/.apt-cache /var/cache/apt

no, when i enter the program manager I can't update, download or uninstall programs, the protocoll looks like that:

hildon-application-manager 2.2.52.2
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

when i go to /var/cache/ there is a file called apt (which is a link to the folder home/user/.apt-cache, where is no such file, so i guess i spoiled something there.

please could someone give me an advice howto get the file back?
restoring programlist with backup does not work either, since it also needs the program manager

thanks in advance

don't tell me you migrate the file in root to application partition? i think you screwed it up big time. Never following that guide if you are not a linux expert. The best way to free up rootfs is to uninstall applications that you installed from Extra-devel. and also disable the repository. Moving and hotlink it will brick your device. My advise is to reflashing it with the latest firmware using flasher 3.5, wipe both eMMC and OS to preventing any software clash and stuck into an infinite loop.

I hope you've learn your lesson.

i had done this before the last update and it worked perfect, so i thought it should work like that again.. might not have been the best idea i guess.. anyone got another solution than flashing?
i guess my mods will go back to the originals?

i flashed the os and am stuck in a reboot loop.. really flash emmc now?
or maybe flash it with an older os image and update afterwards?

Open terminal, type cd .apt-cache then ls, and paste the output

to late, i flashed the device with the newest firmware after maxximuscools advics, which got my device in a reboot loop.
since my wireless connection is not configured anymore after update i can't access via ssh as well..

okay i solved the problem, with flashing os and emmc=) thanks to both of you

And I wonder... if do that is so dangerous to our nokiators... why are the how-to at this site?
