How do you update apps that was installed using dpkg? Does using the dpkg -i command on a newer version on a .deb update the existing application/packages, or does it install the new one to a separate place? Could it mess everything up or should it do it all neatly?

The reason I ask is because I have the original version of SPB TV installed but today a new beta has arrived.

Thanks in advance!

The great thing with Linux distroes is that you do not have to use single file installs, yet you do not have to use repository install. You can still use source install or manual package installs

Personally I always found repository installations to be incredibly handy compared to the internet-search-for-infected-files Windows installs.

I tried using the xterminal in installing a .deb game on my N900 but after the dpkg command it says, dpkg requested operation requires superuser privileges. Please how do i get this off and install the game?

@david_kewell007

you need to install rootsh from application manager if you dont have it
then when you want to use "dpkg" and "apt-get" commands you need to type "root" or "sudo gainroot" before that commands
after that you will gain superuser privileges !

./sifo

good
you need to enable extra-devel repo first (at your own risk !!!!! ) by typing this command or via application manager

Code:
root
echo "deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
then in terminal :
Code:
root
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
Good luck

Thank you so much for your time and efforts to assist me in getting this fixed but after i typed in the code in the xterminal it said /sh cannot create the directory. Is there any other way i can install other games without this? and please do you know of where i can download good games? Thank you so much. I really appreciate.

First rule: never assume you can "fix" something for someone, who uses "codes" when speaking about command lines.
