apt-get dist-upgrade is not working properly , this is classical maemo trap since Nokia 770 days

Yes and you probably seen big list of packages listed for removal and big warning and are you sure question :-)


Looks like you're now the best guinea pig to find out the way to recovery. As answered in mailing list, try to make rootfs image from working tablet. Rough steps are
- figure out proper mount command to mount clean root to some empty directory
- figure out ho to create flashable ubi/ubifs images
- figure out rootfs flashing with flasher-3.5
