Given how far its getting and where its failing, its likely to be something preventing hildon-home or hildon-desktop from starting properly. I dont know how to find out which package (probably one of the recent clones from Freemangordon)

You should never run apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade on a N900 EVER. It can and will cause problems (as you have found)

maybe cssu-devel should require a password? make it known one but specific enough, for example:

FYI, do NOT install maemo-launcher from cssu-devel, when I did it prevented anything relying on it (e.g. hildon-home, hildon-desktop etc) from starting and I had to use RescueOS to restore stock maemo-launcher (there is no version of that package in cssu-testing or cssu-stable, its only in cssu-devel)

My clone of connui-cellular (specifically connui-statusbar-cellular) now works and is in cssu-devel.(it doesn't crash hildon-status-menu and it displays the correct icons as far as I can tell (I didn't test the "no sim" icon but I imagine it works)

Do not use libplayback-1-0 package from cssu-devel, it makes media player crash.

Freemangordon fixed libplayback and it works now (at least in so far as mediaplayer and notification daemon play audio correctly)

Well, while i agree with the "devel" concept and related warnings....

When you discover that a package is bugged at the point that can break ANY device that installs it, you have two possibilities: fix or DELETE IT.

Leave it there to kill some other development device seems to be a complete non-sense.

I don't agree with this. upgrade and dist-upgrade are part of the functionality of APT. As xes pointed out, if there are broken packages/dependencies, they should be fixed. If fixing them is considered to be out of scope for CSSU, please remove upgrade and dist-upgrade functionality from the CSSU maintained fork of APT.
