But for those who haven't.. and those using the non-generic variant, it would be good to use the right version..

apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr on a non-generic variant won't be healthy..

You shouldn't be able to install the wrong version. The different firmware variants use different URLs for the System Software repository, so each should only be able to access the appropriate localised packages.

"apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr on a non-generic variant won't be healthy."

But.apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-*

would work for generic and non-generic, it seems.

You need a space between "install" and "--reinstall" in the command "apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-002-pr". What you did was "apt-get install--reinstall mp-fremantle-002-pr".

Try again & good luck.
