"Because the "lib" packages you list are not 'user' packages.  The
error message is a bit misleading, granted..."

"I'd say it is correct: the "lib" packages are not supposed to be
visible in the Application manager.  They are considered part of the
system, like "libgtk2.0" etc."

Ok.

"Spoiler alarm: The Application manager can be put into a mode where it
treats all packages as user packages, regardless of their section.
It's a hidden setting, but should not be hard to find..."

Where can I find? And how do I set?

"Also, I am getting this idea of adding a "dir://" method to apt that
will treat a random directory full of .deb files as a repository,
creating the "Packages" file etc on the fly... maybe this already
exists."

I download the useful part of repository (Packages, debs, etc). And I add to the the catalogue:
file:///media/mmc1/repositroy.maemo.org mistral-beta free
but the application manager try to connect internet and operation failed.
