Since the latest update, it wouldnt let me download most things, saying "Error Package download failed!"

This a well know problem?

Thanks

I get that some time when I have to download, and I have to use putty to ssh and write some codes on it. But since I have term-vt100 installed thats what I use now. After writing it, it then works for a few days then it starts again. But I believe it occurs once u try to download a package that isn't 1.1.3 compatible. coz thats when mine starts to mess up. But anyway , this is what u shoud do, U can do just the first and see, or the next. I sometimes do both. Requires restarting your phone each time. I mean full restart. Do these using SSH

cd /Applications
chmod +s Installer.app/Installer
chown -R root:wheel Installer.app

or try this one


chmod 4755 /Applications/Installer.app/Installer

It should then work again.;)

Thanks, but i have a touch not a phone (unless that was a typo), and also im on 1.1.2 JB. Would that still do something for my 1.1.2?

Thanks

It should work fine for 1.1.2 aswell, but lately the Installer been having problems. But that does fix it
