It never got to Feature Upgrade. I got to that much later, when I fixed my networking. Come to think of it I'm pretty sure I've got "Operating System Upgrade" and not "Feature Upgrade", but I can't be sure now. >>> So I would say that your upgrade got interrupted by something else than >>> the network going down.

To which I figured I'll just fire up connection again (mine is configured to "ask" before establishing connection or I fire it up manually whenever I need it) and all I saw was spinner stating that it's "searching" for network and never finding one. > I assume the AM was still open, since otherwise there should have been a > note saying "Update successfully installed". > yep. > If the AM stops the update without rebooting and without giving any > error message, then that's a bug int the AM. > could be, but I never seen that before (I guess because it's the first upgrade of this kind). >> 5. reboot N800 >> 6. live happy. >> >> items 3 and 6 were the ones with the problem: #3 broke several times >> complaining about version mismatches (to which I replied: "ok") >> > > Hmm, a dependency error is not something that you can override.

Since I was already (as I thought at the time) half way through and I was pretty sure that aborting will not roll back transactions and I'll be left with some applications in inconsistent state (required libraries bumped version but not application for example) I figured I'd skip a package or two which will automatically discard updates for all apps depending on that package. In the end I skipped several packages before AM was able to continue, at which point I "left it alone" and when I came back it was sitting there without network connection and with broken connection manager. I know how frustrating it is to have very little details to resolve issues, but I was in a hurry, and I needed my N800 in somewhat working condition no matter what, so I just took as many "shortcuts" as I could at the time just to "get going". Now that I've learned my lesson I won't be agreeing to any updates if I don't have an hour or so to spend so I can do thing more diligently (including bug reports). (by the way - there was no sarcasm in above, in case you were wondering ;) ). _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
