There were TWO updates. Please make sure (in Application Manager, under "show installed applications") that you have easy-deb-chroot version 0.9.12, because 0.9.11 has a bug. If you have 0.9.11, please upgrade and your problem will be fixed.

'sudo chroot /debian' worked perfectly until the new upgrade.

That's really not the way to do it. You should use "sudo debian" to get root access to the chroot; "debbie" or "sudo debian hilda" will run applications as "user". You can run a Debian app (eg. oowriter) by typing, "debbie oowriter".

If you have version 0.9.12, and Easy Debian is still crashing, please post the errors when you reboot and then type "sudo debian".

You delete the correct .desktop files from /usr/share/applications/hildon as root, they are sanely named and should be easy to find.
