once upon a backup
Hi guys I need to ask about a simple detail I've never got fixed.

Once upon a time I did a back up, adding the applications list to it. I
restore de backup but the Application Manager remembers that list and wants
to install some apps that could not installed on the restore process.

Any idea if I can delete/remove that list?

Yes, you can edit:
/var/lib/hildon-application-manager/packages.backup

Or if you want to edit your backup itself, in
/home/user/MyDocs/backups/ you'll find your backups. In there is a
file called applications.zip which contains:

Root/var/lib/hildon-application-manager/packages.backup
Root/var/lib/hildon-application-manager/catalogues.backup

They are just a simple list in an XML file. You can edit those and
then try to restore your backup.

Paul, I'm starting to think you are some guardian angel or super hero.

:-) Thanks
