I'm interested in this digression, sorry to distract from your main point. Can you give more information about how the AM is slower than apt-get? Do you need to perform too many clicks in the UI to get your task done, or do you have to wait longer until it has downloaded and installed the packages? Also, when you say that operations often fail, do you mean that the AM crashes or leaves your system in a inconsistent state, or do you mean that the AM doesn't find solutions to satisfy all dependencies whereas apt-get is able to find a solution and proceed? We will finally get a "Update All" button in Diablo. (In all likelihood it will just run all the updates one after the other instead of all at once as apt-get upgrade would do.) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
