Yes, basically you'll need to disable lifeguard flag, and then
complete the apt-get upgrade using ssh (when updating maemo-launcher
xterm will be killed).
    

This actually depends on which version of osso-xterm is used, the one
from maemo[1] repositories does not use maemo-launcher, so it is safe to
use; however, the one from maemo-hackers[2] does use, and will be killed.
  

I was using xterm from maemo-hackers so it was killed. I followed the steps suggested above and in some previous threads and set the flag 'no-lifeguard-reset'. After that my device didn't reboot anymore. I completed upgrade with 'dpkg --configure -a' and it seemed to fix the mess with my packages. However, after that I decided to try to clear that flag back hoping that tablet now does not need it. Clearing the flag resulted again in cycle reboot of my system. I was wondering whether this behavior  is alright?

Also as was mentioned by Johannes  Eickhold in http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-August/005349.html video and audio players are not able to play files any more after this failure. With regards to this problem is flashing device the only way to fix it?
