There is no need to re-flash!  Unfortunately, if you had a previous version of 
GPE installed, the Application Manager cannot handle the package renames.

The easiest option is to uninstall all the previous GPE packages.  This will 
not destroy your GPE data.

If you have root access then use apt-get to remove the packages.  The complete 
apt-get command would be (all on one line, of course):

apt-get remove gpe-calendar gpe-contacts gpe-icons gpe-timesheet gpe-todo 
libcontactsdb0 libeventdb0 libgcrypt11 libgnutls11 libgpepimc0 libgpevtype0 
libgpewidget1 libhandoff0 libmimedir0 libopencdk8 libsoup2 libsqlite0 
libtododb0 libxsettings-client0

If you do not have some of those packages installed, apt-get will complain -- 
just take them out of the command.  Actually, you probably don't have to 
remove everything -- the key packages to remove before the upgrade are: 
libeventdb0, libgnutls11, libgpevtype0, libmimedir0 , libsoup2.

If you don't have root access, you will have to enable "red pill mode" in the 
Application Manager in order to see the library packages which have to be 
removed.
