Is this in the SDK or on the device? If on the device, what version of
the OS are you running (Settings > About product)?

Cheers,

This error plagued the autobuilders a while ago. Interesting that you
see it on the device itself.

I have attitude 0.0.8 installed on my N900 (old firmware:
RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-10_PR_TRUE):

~ $ ls -ld /opt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 8 01:14 /opt -> /home/opt

~ $ dpkg -L attitude|grep opt$
/opt

~ $ dpkg -L base-files|grep opt$
/opt

<niemeyer> Is it some kind of high-availability system? :-)

in the device. flashed one more time in windows, nothing, downloaded the
emmc + os image again, flashed in linux and i still have device that doesn't
work as close as it is supposed to


now straight out of the box enabled repos only and forecaweather cant be
installed.

*dpgk:unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
unable to open files list file for package 'fmtx-middleware ': Structure
need
*
Am I doing something wrong? I am following exactly the flasher
instructions...

I just wanted to get crash-reporter installed to see if my devices HW is ok
or not. and this is retail version, not a proto.

I think you have flashed properly and the device is working (or did you
see something weird just after flashing?). The packages that you
install are just buggy.
