Maemo repos are broken?!
 

I just wanted to install something from testing, but apt-get and hildon package manager are both reporting:

W: Failed to fetch http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...l/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (1)

for all repositories form maemo.org (extras, extras-testing and devel)

I still can download the packagefile to my computer, so obviously there is nothing wrong with the server..

What do I need to do?

btw: the search and threading display sucks big-time. Is there a way to download the forums database and search offline?

Unfortunately bzip2 error code is not very helpful:
Do you have free storage space on your device?
What if you download the .bz2 file manually on the device (e.g. using curl), or use a browser to access the repository (just to check if network settings is ok).

Are you using cssu ?
I had same error on old busybox-power.version.

Re: Maemo repos are broken?!
 

I am using

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso31+0cssu0)

if I call bzip2 fromm commandline (regardless of user or root) I got:

bzip2: applet not found


How can I update busybox without repository available?

Thanks for your Help!

I also encountered this problem: simply download the .deb of busybox-power on your N900, and install it with
dpkg -i busybox-power-blabla.deb

Then it was ok for me.

I solved that by installing bzip2

Great! Downloading the .deb and installing in fixed it!

Thanks guys!
