Hello. Yesterday I reflashed my N900 (my virtual keyboard was gone, but reflashing fixed it... nevermind) and now when using app manager I can't install 90% of apps (from all repositories). N900 shows up message: " Unable to install 'APP-NAME' "

mhm... try to:
1. open xterm
2. type "sudo gainroot" (rootsh must be installed)
3. type "apt-get update"
4. type "apt-get upgrade"
if there are any errors, please report... if not go on with trying to install apps via app-manager or if this still doesn't work:
5. search for an app you wanted to install via "apt-cache search *app-name*" (set the name in between of stars *....*)
6. then try to install it with "apt-get install app-name" or if you are too lazy for typing the whole name you can use * here as well.
if here are any error, please report too

1,2,3,4 - no errors.
5 - when I type an app name between of stars it shows:
"Regex compilation error". When I type a name without the stars it shows me a description of that app.
6 - "Couldn't find package APP_NAME".

oh... sorry...
i forgot... you don't need the stars at step 5.
just "apt-cache search string".
it will find all the apps containing "string" ^^
