:) For the record I was hit too and hopefully found help on #maemo so I could get out of the reboot cycles. I did not realize that the application manager wasn't doing the same things as apt-get upgrade until too late. When the mistral repositories are fixed, what's the best course, apt-get upgrade again? (I do it through ssh from my regular PC.)
