First I am unable to fully comprehend either of you. Please re-read your posts. I realize I am often guilty of it as well but it is difficult to troubleshoot a problem, when I am not fully clear on where the problem is.

Now then, is the problem with ?:
(a) the Maemo environment
(b) the EasyDebian chroot environment
(c) Both

Additionally, which version of Maemo do you have (Diablo, Fremantle, Harmatten [joking] )?
Which version of EasyDebian? Current version?

Any error messages?
Any output at all would help.
Otherwise, seeya.
