sudo gainroot works alright...i get the following output:
Busybox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-losso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands.
okay...for dkpg --clear-avail there is no output...anyway i typed apt-get update after that and i got the following output...
"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem"
for dpkg --configure -a i get the following output:
"dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0003' near line 1: newline in field name '#padding'

Hi Guys
I have problem installing and Uninstalling too, I have gone through this thread and followed the instructions but nothing seems to work out for me. In my case all the applications from the download section in the app manager have vanished also I cant uninstall applications anymore (even with terminal). When trying to uninstall any app, it says Unable to Uninstall and the App Manager crashes with a msg " internal error app manager closed". Also whenever i hit the update/refresh button it says "No Application/Update Available".
I doubt the problem began after installing Qt Web Runtime and Tv viewer.
PLEASE PLEASE help me as I dont want to reflash my phone...and Guys I am not at all good with Terminal but can just follow step by step instruction.
THANKYOU !

Once you've got it installed, type the following in X Terminal, and post the output:
Code:
sudo gainroot apt-get update

Code:
Reading package lists... Error! E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_extras-devel_dists_fremantle_free_binary-armel_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
just delete the two files /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin and /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin
I can't explain it because it was not well explained but it worked fine for me...
Your system has partially installed or broken packages. You'll have to fix this manually. Try dpkg --configure-a
which i did...the error i got i have posted it already...i have rootsh installed and i use the sudo gainroot command before i go on to use the dpkg command...
