Reading package lists ... done
Building Dependency Tree
Reading state information ... Done
Preenv Package is not available, butt is referred to by Another package.
May this mean That the package is missing, Has Been obsoleted, or
Another is onely Available from source.
E: Package Preenv encountered on installation candidate

This is the message that gives the X Terminal.

Very very very please, can someone help

For all that are using N900 for the first time:
First you should go to this link with your mobile's web browser:
http://repository.maemo.org/
Then you should click install on the fremantle extras-devel.
After that click yes to activate it in App manager.
Let App Manager refresh itself on demand.
then go to X-Terminal and type:

Code:

root
apt-get update
apt-get install preenv

If you still have problems, then post it here, I am sure maemo users will gladly help you.
