Yes, but only for you. :-) > Prior to the upgrade, my /var/run on the SD card is as follows: > > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jul 16 14:35 /var/run -> > /tmp/.run Aha! I can reproduce your problem this way: # mv /tmp/.run /tmp/.run2 # apt-get --reinstall install dbus [...] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dbus_1.0.2-0osso8_armel.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/var/run', which is also in package ssh [...] So, I conclude that something is wrong with your /tmp/.run and dpkg just gets cnfused about whether /var/run is a directory or not and singling out ssh as the culprit by chance. Can you debug the issues with /var/run a bit on your side? > Are these repositories/commands still correct? They are correct, but the following should be better: deb http://repository.maemo.org/sardine unstable main non-free # apt-get upgrade # apt-get install hildon-application-framework # apt-get upgrade > The Wiki[1] seems to have a mistake in step 1.5 of the device > upgrade where it recommends that sources.list should contain > > deb unstable main non-free Some wiki markup problem, I'll check. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
