Hi Mathias,

Thanks for your thorough response.  I was unable to obtain root access
because I couldn't install the necessary programs.

I opted to flash the system.  So I get to start all over again.  This time
I'll be sure to install only programs for the scirocco release.  

Thanks again,
Peter

Hello Peter,

there are some ways to fix the prob.

1. Rename the file status in /var/lib/dpkg to a name you like maybe
status_broken. Then rename the file status_old in /var/lib/dpkg to status.

if  that does not work

2. open the file status in a editor and search for the bad text-block
package osso-games-startup and fix it manual

and if that does not work then

3. its your own choice ...flash it

You need to become root to fix the problem. There are more then one way to
become root.

A good start is this URL

Betreff: [maemo-users] broken application manager
Hi all,

I need some help resurrecting the Application Manager on my Nokia 770.

I got my 770 about two weeks ago, and have had a lot of fun downloading and
installing new applications.  With DejaPim, Canola, and Gizmo, my Nokia 770
has become an amazing little device.  

Then I went to uninstall an application and that's when the problems began.


My Application Manager is useless now... it shows no applications as having
been installed and can't refresh any of the application catalogues I
configured.

In the Application Manager log, I see this error message:
-------
osso-application-installer 4.22, UI version 1
E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
E: Error occurred while processing osso-games-startup (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
-------

Frankly, I have no idea how to fix this problem.  Do I need to reinstall
OS/2006?  Or is there a way to restore only the application manager?

Please advice as I would like to get back to having fun with my Nokia 770 as
soon as possible.

Thanks from Montreal,
Peter
