It's in the SDK repository (http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/sdk free non-free). A lot of the contents of that repository aren't really meant to be installed on an actual device so you should probably disable it after installing the package.

Works for me...

Code:

Nokia-N800-43-7:~# wget -q http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.1.2/free/h/html2text/html2text_1.3.2a-2_armel.deb
Nokia-N800-43-7:~# dpkg -i html2text_1.3.2a-2_armel.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package html2text.
(Reading database ... 17940 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking html2text (from html2text_1.3.2a-2_armel.deb) ...
Setting up html2text (1.3.2a-2) ...

Are you sure you are running the latest (5.2008.43-7) Diablo version?

html2text is a command line application from the SDK repository, so it isn't in "User". For that reason, the application manager rejects it, at least by default. You'll need to either install it from the command line or briefly enter Red Pill mode for the install.

Please remember to disable Red Pill (if used) and the SDK repository after installing html2text.

Ah yes, it just occurred to me that it probably isn't installable with the application manager as it's not in the 'user' section. You can either use either command line tools as above, or red pill mode.
