On a 770 with a near fresh SE2005_3_2005_51_13 install, installing some-gnu-utils caused the app installer to hang: the progress bar simply moved back and forth for over 5 minutes. Since the app-installer runs in dialog mode, not only could it not be killed but the menu system can't be activated. I eventually had to take the battery out to force the device to hard reset. On reboot, the app-installer reports some-gnu-utils as "broken" and refuses to remove it. I added the warning last night after the problem occured. I'm willing (and plan) to investigate further. Thanks, Neal
