There's your problem. You need to edit the /etc/apt/preferences file and make sure there's no empty lines between the Package: line and the Pin: line.

Ahh.. look at that.

You could show us your /etc/apt/preferences by

1. cat /etc/apt/preferences

Probably you could just remove it...

I suspect he's installed the updated hildon-home package - that's what's caused this issue in every other case I've seen. In this case, he'll need the file to keep the updated packages pinned (otherwise the original versions will get reinstalled).

The URL for extras-testing also wants to have fremantle instead of fremantle-1.2 - that'll get rid of this warning:

I'm not sure the changes to the repository file get picked up by App Manager though, so I'd check you're using the correct repository settings there as well.

i can't delete the empty line; when press "i" to edit, then press "backspace" on the empty line, nothing happens

Use "dd" instead to delete the line. You'll also need to delete the empty line between Pin and Pin-Priority.

Make this

Code:

Package: hildon-desktop

Pin: release a=unstable 

Pin-Priority: 1001

Look like this

Code:

Package: hildon-desktop
Pin: release a=unstable 
Pin-Priority: 1001

To remove the blank lines. Put the marker at the line and press d two times. Make sure you do not have the marker on a line you do not want to delete.
