on my n810 I've tried updating with the new featured version 5.2008.43-7 and everything seems to run smooth; however, after rebooting the 'OS2008 Feature upgrade' is shown in both the 'installed applications' and 'check for updates' section (application manager)

The details tab gives me this:

Status : Broken but updateable
Category: system
Installed version: 1:5.2008.43-7
Available version: 1:5.2008.43-7
Download size: 0kb

doing a reinstall gives me an 'unable to update' error. I also tried an 'apt-get -f install' from x-term. still failing with the following error taken from the log:

# -------------------------
Upgrading osso-software-version-rx44 1:5.2008.43-7 to 1:5.2008.43-7
Setting up mce (1.7.23) ...
Starting Mode Controller Entity: mceinvoke-rc.d: initscript mce, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing mce (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of osso-software-version-rx44:
osso-software-version-rx44 depends on mce (= 1.7.23); however:
Package mce is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing osso-software-version-rx44 (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
mce
osso-software-version-rx44
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
# -------------------------

I even followed the suggestions made in this tread but with no success; is there anything that will prevent me from reflashing? please give me some advice...

thanks bun, I appreciate your help but actually what questions me is how to fix this issue (or even try to understand what went wrong) and recover my nit without reflashing; I'd really like to take advantage of the 'seamless update' ...if there's no easy solution I'll definitely follow your guide;

thanks again for all your help; unfortunately the steps mentioned earlier by Ropesend didn't work out successfully. as a result I followed the suggestion from qgil and created a new bug report @ https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3943.

so let's wait if anything can be done; in the meantime still hoping for some smart ideas helping me to come over this issue...

What was the error with ropesend's instructions?

Could you try this?
1) get root
2) as root run "/etc/init.d/mce restart" and if it doesn't show any error:
3) dpkg --configure -a

If you are using a non-busybox "ls" it will break. ("ls -Q" in an xterm - if it lists files with quotes, things will break badly - if it gives a usage message, it should be OK.).
