Hmm, that is unexpected. There shouldn't be any change in the behavior in this area. If you feel like it, could you experiment a bit with apt-get update in the shell and "Refresh list of applications" in the Application Manager UI? To get a clean slate, do # rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* After that, both apt-get update and "Refresh list of applications" _should_ get you back into a useable state and should ignore non-existing distributions or components. You can review detailed messages with "Tools > Log" in the Application Manager. (Upcoming versions of the Application Manager will be more helpful with debugging catalogue configurations.) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

If you have ssh server and xterm installed, you can: - run xterm - ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] - cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.oryg - add all repositories you want or copy from internet ready file - or if you have already "extended" version: cp /etc/apt/sources.list."extended" /etc/apt/sources.list - apt-get update Usually if something is wrong with repositories sites/files/keys it shows some error and it helps with further investigation.

This is annoying, as then I have to go back and find and re-enter the repositories that I need. Mayber there is some logging somewhere that tells you exactly what is failing. I haven't found it yet.

I ran into one problem because I had the following in my application catalog Catalog name: Maemo Web address:http://repository.maemo.org Distribution: bora Components: free non-free extras ^^ The problem was that extras is a non-existent component in repository.maemo.org. Previous versions of the firmware would just ignore the non-existent component. The latest version seems to abort the "apt-get update" process and leave you with the old package information --- for all catalogs, not just the one with the bogus extra component. I figured this out by eliminating all non-essential categories until the package information was getting properly updated, and then I was able to figure out that the problem was the extra, non-existent component. Once I eliminated that, I was able to install skype, openssh, etc. Don't know if this is the problem you ran into, but maybe it will help some others - Ted ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

This was an attempt to build an empty user-installable package (openssh-installer) that depends on a non-user-installable package (ssh). The attempt wasn't successful because these two packages come from different repositories, and a single .install file cannot add two repostitories at once. I you have the maemo repository (the SDK one) added to your app installer, you ought to be able to use this method to get OpenSSH.
