I solved the problem of dist-upgrade failing by disabling the extras-devel repository. Now, "apt-get dist-upgrade" says, "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." Only I still have version 10.2010.19-1.002 (PR1.2).
upgraded PR1.2 to PR1.3 using apt-get dist-upgrade. updated 1013 packages but system->settings->about still shows 10.2010.19-1.
and now dist-upgrade also fails with unmet dependencies of sysvinit-utils or busybox. still haven't found clean solution yet.
also had settings->about problem when dist-upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2. everything went fine, olny about strings were not updated.
I flashed with PR 1.3, but after restoring the backup, including applications, The problem (dist-upgrade and sysvinit-utils) returned, which hinted about a problem with the the sources I had configured.
So flashed again to PR1.3, but this time excluded applications during restore. Changed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list to the content I've got from a friend who dist-upgraded without a problem::

lazy as i am i don't check but ask:
did you remove the old sources - this is the ones from 1.2 from your sources list??
uh and i do not suggest to edit it for it is via hildon connected to some xml that fetches values from somewhere else and i didn't check up to now where that comes from(that is can't say how they affect rsp. disturb each other though i observed hildon writes to /its/ sources list).
well hello everyone... i'm new to both my new nokia n900 and ofcourse to the OS bt well sumhw i began to wonder that as we all knw that the x terminal in it is kinda wich is called "BusyBox" is of quite an older version(v1.10.2)...and nt to mention its limitation of commands... :P so i did sum googling if i can actually upgrade the BusyBox to push its limit .... so i came over this site...
