(that was on the N900, right after running apt-get update)

btw, even if it were the solution this would mean that fso-deviced-platform
should be a dependency of fso-deviced and not a recommendation.
That in turn would mean that fso-deviced should only be available in armel
and armhf because all the packages that provide fso-deviced-platform are
only available here.
That on the other hand would be unfortunate because phoneui-apps depends on
phoneuid depends on phonefsod depends on fso-deviced, which means people
like me who want to have a look at the UI first on their x86 machine before
deciding whether they want to obtain some HW for actually running
phoneui-apps can't get a preview anymore.
