Hi I was try to free up some space on the(N900) root and came across this bit of code on this webpage http://maemo-experience.blogspot.com...max-results=13

# mkdir -p /home/var/lib
# mv /var/lib/apt /home/var/lib && ln -s /home/var/lib/apt /var/lib
# mv /var/lib/dpkg /home/var/lib && ln -s /home/var/lib/dpkg /var/lib
# mkdir /home/var/cache
# mv /var/cache/apt /home/var/cache && ln -s /home/var/cache/apt /var/cache

But now when I run application manager I get
hildon-application-manager 2.2.51-1
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists.new/lock - open (2 No such file or directory)
E: Unable to lock the list directory

Can anyone help me out here or do I need to re-flash the phone?

TIA zero2007

See http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/mae...ry/015386.html which is about the same problem.
