Always a good idea, but you need rootsh installed for the commands to succeed in X-Terminal application.

Code:

sudo gainroot

dpkg --configure -a

apt-get install -f

~ $ sudo gainroot
Root shell enabled

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

I'm not sure about the n900 but for the above error what I would do is:

- Delete php5-common_5.2.6-6maemo5_armel.deb from /var/cache/apt/archives/

- Do apt-get install -f after the above

If it still complains about the Post-removal script, do:

dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq php5-common

If still the post-removal script error comes then delete the post-removal script from:

/va/lib/dpkg/info/

The above is what I think should fix it up...

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

Also try

Code:

sudo gainroot

mkdir /var/lib/php5/

dpkg --configure -a

apt-get purge php5-common

Re: can't install some apps(or update)

after appling all this commands again that error comes. i also delete post removal script from var/lib/dpkg/info but nothing change when i install some other application with faster application it automaticaly start to install php5-common but unable to install error comes. and unable to install or remove any application through faster application manager.i also tried to unistall through application manager but error comes that unable to unistall package is broken.

Re: can't install some apps(or update)
