No problems installing the update here. Which I'm very glad. Last two times required a reflash, this time if I did have to reflash, I'd have to find a computer since mine recently died.
Well, the good news is that the causes of reboot loops in the past were fairly simple, so fixing them wasn't horribly difficult. SSU really isn't a bad system, it's just that Nokia's crappy testing procedures (basically, "apply update to freshly flashed tablet" which, of course, works perfectly) and the limited nature of these devices (running out of space on the rootfs isn't a fun thing to do) combined for some very nasty results.
Nokia's new to this game, and they still don't fully understand SSU, but slow progress is being made and I think we'll be somewhere pretty good by the time Fremantle hits.
Reason was bluez-utils-test and minigpsd which I had manually installed. Because application manager won't remove user/ section packages to install other packages, upgrading didn't work.
Error message message is totally wrong, and correct behaviour would be a question if user wants to uninstall applications in order to upgrade.
Thanks! Removing bluez-utils-test was indeed the trick.
Updated smoothly, but I (obviously) lost my screen rotation... Which I generally didn't use anyway (except when masquerading as an iphone for mobile gmail), so I'm not too upset.
Me: "Just read Nokia released a software update for my N800 today."
My boyfriend: "Oh." - Pause... - "So is this something you would like to have as a Christmas present?"
Still have the N800 bug where the internet call application will not automatically launch when camera is popped out and the image is upside down when camera is flipped.
I noticed something strange.
Before this update whenever I was creating a Backup, the resulting file was 59-60 MB
After this update the Backup file is only 8, yes EIGHT MB.
