I also have exact same problem - started shortly after upgrading to PR1.2

Hopefully some skilled person can advise.

For this instruction
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=653761&postcount=4
you need to have root access to your device:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access
Then you can edit the file:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst
In this file is a line:
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
and you have to put a # at the beginning of this line:
#/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
Now you should now be able to update this package.

Or contact the maintainer of this package and ask for help.

Does this fix the problem, or just hide it ? It would be good to get the updates installed.

**UPDATE: I commented out the line as instructed and have successfully updated (only 1 of the 2 appeared, along with a few newer updates for unrelated apps) . Now 'No updates available' :O) I have re-edited the file to remove the comment - and all seem fine. Thanks!

Thanks for the instructions, I will give it a go and report back.

EDIT: I put the line below in X Terminal and "file not found".

Code:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst

@nicolai
Thanks for the write up, it worked for me to install the update. Now that it's updated should I remove the comment again or is there another fix for this now in place?

Thanks,
Kevin

1) You need to be root
2) You need to edit the file, not just type in the name of the file

So open an X Terminal, then type:

Code:
sudo gainroot
vi /var/lib/dpkg/info/account-plugin-salut.postinst

But BEFORE you do that, find yourself a good tutorial on the basics of using the vi editor!

Oh ok, but instead of me finding a tutorial why don't you just type here exactly what you did so I can do it and call it a day.
