Problem in Terminal - Page 2 - maemo.org

Another thing that might shed some light on the matter, is having a look at the most recent updates performed by dpkg:

Code:

ls -tl /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | less

just a side note:
On any Debian based system (including Ubuntu, Maemo, yadda yadda...), always use dist-upgrade instead of upgrade!
In most cases both will do the same but there are some situations where upgrade might break things, especially if you run a release mix (e.g. extras + extras-testing; but frankly virtually any two Maemo repositories combined should be considered a release mix).
In a dependency hell environment like Maemo dist-upgrade might break things too, but if it does upgrade would have broken it anyway (if it wouldn't have, dependency hell had just become yet a bit hotter).

I've used dist-upgrade for two years without any mayor* problems. On the other hand I believe I know what I'm doing (I've been using Debian for years) and therefore understand what apt want's to tell me.

The main difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade is that upgrade only updates installed packages to their newest version while dist-upgrade checks whether updated packages have changes in their dependency lists and installs these new dependencies.

If your red warning is true it's even more true for update. dist-upgrade breaking something that upgrade would not have broken is always a clear sign of severe dependency problems in your system and/or repositories that need to be fixed instead of falling back to upgrade and crossing your fingers (which might work for now but will cause further problems in the future).

*) read: I've had broken dependencies but I knew that in advance and I at least had a general idea of how to fix them.

Thing is, since apt-get isn't meant to be used directly in maemo, and since dependencies and upgrades aren't treated the same way in maemo as in debian, using apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade tries to pretend maemo is debian, which it isn't, and might pull in incompatible packages which otherwise wouldn't get installed when using HAM.

Additionally, there are extra directives that apt-get doesn't understand, but HAM does. Especially when dealing with kernels

In what way is Maemo's package management not Debian and in what way is HAM not just another apt front-end like Synaptic on desktops?
Which directives does HAM use that apt (or dpkg) doesn't understand?

As I said, I'm a Debian user and I've treated Maemo like Debian for the past two years when it comes to package management. I've used HAM once in a while but mainly I've been using apt and I had no unresolvable problems (most weren't even unexpected once I knew in which shape Maemo's repositories are).

Maybe I've been missing something for the past two years which may well be the case since I never brought myself in a position that I couldn't handle (resolve or revert).
