Well, for those with an i386 tag in their filename: they are for the x86 architecture and won't install on an armel target (such as the N900), so those won't be needed.
Once those are out of the equation, you should be able to install the rest.
BUT
, why are you installing those packages by hand (with dpkg I suspect)? You should really be using the integrated package manager, which will sort out everything for you (I'm assuming this is on a real device and not in the development environment?)
OK, I've re-read your post, and you really shouldn't use the red-pill mode if you are uncomfortable with using dpkg by hand! That mode is supposed to be used by people knowing what they are doing, and able to fix potential errors made when in red-pill mode.
I'm now wondering how many of the "I bricked my phone" threads around here stem from careless usage of the red pill...
(OK, I'll stop rambling and go back to my hole
)
