That's a good question...don't know what's going on with your install.
Did you manually add armel stuff from Fremantle or ?

Anyway, that's probably better to restart from the beginning and 'burn' a new img in your sd card.

FYI there is no armel stuff in Leste, it uses armhf on N900. Armel pkg's from Fremantle can't run on Leste, they must be ported. (See Leste wiki)
