sorry for my poor english.


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run apt-get -f install to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
osso-software-version-rx34: Depends: flash-and-reboot (= 3) but it is not goin g to be installed
Depends: initfs-flasher (= 0.95.16-200823maemo2) b ut it is not going to be installed
Depends: kernel-diablo-flasher (= 2.6.21-200823mae mo3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

Just follow the advice it gives you: run
Code:
apt-get -f install
As root, of course.

See this post on maemo-developers.

The osso-software-version-rx44 package exists twice: once in your device
and once in the "Nokia System Software Updates" repository. These two
instances of the package have the same version, but different
dependencies (stupid, I know, see below). The
osso-software-version-rx44 in the repository additionally depends on the
three packages that you list in the subject.

Apt-get uses the information from the repository, which results in the
error message you see. Running apt-get -f install will fix it. The
Application manager is not affected by this, it simply ignores the
problem and carries on. After the first OS update, the problem goes
away.

It's a bug of course that the two instances of
osso-software-version-rx44 are not identical. The additional
dependencies in the repository instance are used to (as you might have
guessed to control flashing of the kernel and initfs during a OS
update. The osso-software-version-rx44 instance in the flash image does
not need them, and I didn't see the problem with this because I wasn't
thinking. (I don't reflash my devices anymore, so I didn't run into
this problem myself...)

Yep, it's a bit embarassing, but should have no bad consequences other
than having to run "apt-get -f install" once (or disabling the "Nokia
System Software Updates" repository) before you can use apt-get on the
command line.
