This isn't really the problem. There are two problems. The first is that the repository system is fairly highly fragmented due to some issues with the feature and stability/availability of Garage and Extras, but this is improving.

The second is that Nokia can't seem to get the working and required repositories from bora extras into chinook extras for OS2008. Pretty much all of the dependency issues I've seen with Chinook have had to do with people not having bora extras installed.
