i feel your pain man , when i started with my 770 (now have an N800) i knew jack about linux... and i too spcifically had problems getting gnumeric to work . you just gotta make sure you have all the repositories you need in your application catalog , and when trying to install look at the detains and check what the dependancies are..what i did was write what the dependencies are ... when i was having trouble with gnumeric i just basically googled "installing gnumeric on nokia 770" my position has always been , make this thing more user friendly and its a total ipod killer... as in my N800 i currently have 8 gigs of storage and within a year there are going to be 32 gig SDHC cards so thats gonna be 64 gigs of flash storage. while the IT's are awesome devices theres just a few things major and minor they need to do to em....but any other questions bout installing just msg me , always glad to help

This may work with the 700, but I have half the Repositories on my 800 disabled otherwise the list will not refresh. Right now, it appears the Repositories come and go with the phases of the Moon.

i was having the same problem with my list not refreshing , and it ended up being only one repository , if you havent tried it , enable all of them then disable them one at a time to find the offender lol.. was a bit annoying and time consuming but it worked.
