botom line: maemo website/repositories sucks!!! if you want easy help you wont get it ;P unless someone hosts a copy of Python runtime 2.5.(please do) The repositories are "working" right now every app should download unless stated! The only problem with MOST apps that dont install is because python runtime dependencies and most of its components are extremely corrupted, the deb files were impropely packaged and the app manager rejects them and the python runtime itself is COMPLETELY MISSING from the repositories it recognises the files must be there but they arent, if you search the repo manually by using just the web browser, you'll get to that conclusion. Now my only question is: The most IMPORTANT package/deb/program that makes most of all the other apps work is missing or currupted!??? the repositories are not being "hammered", they are just not being managed and instead of just getting on the server and replacing the files - they havent done anything about it for the past 2 weeks. I'am tired of this, so can someone host and post a link to a working python 2.5 deb file, its the holidays thousands of ppl got an it for xmas and want to expand th it's capabilities. If maemo doesnt take responsibility of this matter that we must! if they can't handle hosting repos let someone do it for them! This might be quite radical but it is time for a change, and we are all tired of all the threads that lead to the same conclusion
