Do you have the "maemo extras" repository enabled in Application Manager? Start Application Manager, go to the menu "Tools -> Application catalog...". Is there something listed like "maemo Extras" or "maemo extras (diablo)"? If so, make sure the globe icon is not grayed-out (i.e. disabled). If it is, click "edit" and uncheck the "Disabled" checkbox.

If you don't have "maemo extras" at all, click the New button and add the following:

Code:

Catalog name: maemo extras (diablo)
Web address:  http://repository.maemo.org/extras/
Distribution: diablo
Components:   free non-free

Click OK and let the application catalogs refresh. Now you should be able to install those dependencies. Note that you MAY have to do it from the command line (i.e. xterm).

Code:

sudo gainroot    # or whatever method you use to become root
apt-get install python2.5-gnome python2.5-pygame python2.5-dbus
