Can you post the exact error message you are getting?or better post a screenshot.
I had this conflicts too. & libqt when i tried to install some other applications. i was unable to call *100# (credit ballance ) too. i re-flashed my phone and after that i install the catalogues again and i have no problem since then. visit http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/t5/Pool-of-Knowledge/N900-How-to-update-software-and-Reset-ALL-data/m-p/591877
is not necessary to format the mass memory. skip it if you have problems.(install rootsh and type the command in xterminal for formatting the mass memory: sudo gainroot *enter* mkfs.vfat -n MyDocs /dev/mmcblk0p1)

Hi, you have to add a space between cd and /home/user/MyDocs. Copy paste this code
cd /home/user/MyDocs
