Anyone having trouble with updating and downloading new repo updates? For some reason everytime I download and install an update I get a message saying "Unable to update (name of program)." Though it states this, I can install most updates, but one particular one I am having toruble with is ncurses-bin, it keeps on reappearing.
Check the log, and you can disable (or delete) any trouble repositories. It will refresh fine now.
If you still want to use those (troubled) repositories, maybe you need to check whether you typed everything in correctly, or that the repositories actually do exist for N800.
Yeah, same here. One of the repositories I have listed seems to be "broken".
It'd be great, given the Application Manager is for "normal" users, if this kind of thing was reported in a helpful way with an option to disable the offending repositories.
Yes, I used the log before, but it states a problem for a great deal of my repos. This did not happen before the update, I think I may have to input all the repos again.
ncurses-bin shows up in Application Manager > Check for updates. But when I try to update, well it's unsuccessful. Good idea to check the log. I find this:
dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `ncurses-bin' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

Since I don't seem able to update ncurses-bin I tried to uninstall it. I get:
dpkg: error processing ncurses-bin [--remove]
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.
