You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  mp-fremantle-community-pr: Depends: hildon-desktop (>= 1:2.2.142-11) but 1:2.2.140-1+0m5 is to be installed

  status-area-orientationlock-applet: Depends: hildon-desktop (>= 1:2.2.142-11) but 1:2.2.140-1+0m5 is to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

you got cssu installed. You should have mentioned that earlier.
you need to uninstall cssu inorder to retsin back to old hildon.

or you can do this but you need to update cssu manually then.
apt-get remove mp-fremantle-community-pr
apt-get remove status-area-orientationlock-applet
apt-get install hildon-desktop

Re: error reinstalling hildon-desktop

sorry i didnt realise it would have made a difference.
apt-get remove mp-fremantle-community-pr
apt-get remove status-area-orientationlock-applet
apt-get install hildon-desktop
didnt work so ill remove it and try then

btw thanks for the help

Re: error reinstalling hildon-desktop

oh i forgot u need to disable community-testing repository also.
then do apt-get update
And then install original hildon-desktop.

Re: error reinstalling hildon-desktop

will that mean i need to remove cssu

Re: error reinstalling hildon-desktop

nah removing whole cssu isn't so easy.
The easiest way to remove cssu is reflash
and the hard way to remove and reinstall every component cssu installs manually.
.
Disabling community-testing repository won't remove cssu .

Re: error reinstalling hildon-desktop

so what do i need to do?

Re: error reinstalling hildon-desktop

just open Application manager .
open menu and select application catalogs.
wait till they load
and then click on community-testing and disable it
