Just recieved my N900. Now I'm trying to install something, for example the Amazon-widget.

Everything goes well until it says "Unable to install Amazon widget[...]".

Still, it seems to install fine and runs perfectly. It even uninstalls without any problems. This aplies to all programs in the repositories.

After every install, there is a following log-entry:
sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly

The firmware I'm using is 1.2009.42-11.

Any ideas for fixing this? Or should I go for reflash right away?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured that I could do reflash anyway and it helped. And to my surprise, didn't even lose the contacts or calender appointments, which was nice.

I'm also having this issue with the same error messages in the log.

i have already flashed my n900 but i still get the same error when i am trying to install apps...
