It seems like i'm the village (forum) idiot here...
I have the same problem ("not enough memory in target location"), disabled the extras-devel and extras-testing catalogues but I still get the same problem... I also switched it off and on a couple of times but nothing... I read some of the posts here in this thread and i can't understand anything that is too "techy" for me.
I know very little of this gem of a mobile phone and can't seem to be able enough to update it. Can anyone help me and give me a simplistic step by step?
thanks in advance guys!

install rootsh if not already done

open xterminal
type root then paste this in

apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

hit return and away it goes

this will perform the update and bypass that nasty memory error i got this a user called chuchu and its works

after the update reboot your device, make sure you backup your data first just to be cautious

after i install rootsh, open xterminal, and type root, i can't paste all these:
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
But one each time because whenever i press "enter" it starts doing stuff...
Anyway when i wrote all of them once the update didn't happen, and when i tried to update again it said the same: "not enough memory...etc" ...

Did it give any errors when you ran them? And did you close App Manager down before running them?

I didn't notice anything while it was running, and yes I stupidly left the app manager open... So should I do it again?
And if yes, after i type root do i press enter/space before typing the rest?

edit: I press enter, obviously....

Yes, go ahead and run it again. The "update" step should download the repository catalogues, and the "upgrade" step should offer a list of packages to install/update.
