Hello!
If the is any indication, I'm a rookie so bear with me please. Everytime i open the app manager it says "operation failed".
The Log says

hildon-application-manager 2.2.71
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/repository.maemo.org_dists_fremantle_free_binary-armel_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Any idea how i can fix this without having to send it back to nokia to format the crap out of it? I actually like all the added settings and don't want to have to customize it again...

Thanks guys

May I ask you to try (if you have previously installed rootsh):

sudo gainroot
rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf ; apt-get update

?

Temporal Thank you so much. Sorry it took me so long to reply, i had exams
I have attached a file with what resulted from your piece of advice. It still says operation failed, but i'm hoping the file will help us gather more evidence... Thanks so much...

F2thaK, As much as i'd love to install that app, i cannot install anything on my phone until this is fixed since apparently all installs must go through it...

There looks to be several issues here. Firstly, you have one (or more) repositories set up wrong. The extras-testing repository you have the distribution as "freemantle" instead of "fremantle", and it would look like you have a space instead of a hyphen in the components for the extras/maemo.org repository (should be "free non-free"). You would also appear to have three separate mozilla repositories, so I'd recommend removing two of those.

ok thank you. i adjusted those but do you think the problem is this? Is this why "operation failed" is displayed every time i open the manager? I can't even uninstall stuff.
I think i remember how all this started. I had installed Open Office and all that came with it. And i think i deleted the original file i downloaded to install it. It was like 400mb big and i thought heck it's just an installation file. Boy was i wrong. Now everytime i open Open Office i get "You have no debian.img.ext2 file on your memory cards. Please use the debian image installer in extras" and ever since the trouble with App. Manager started. It won't update, download or uninstall. Help?

I don't think that'd have anything to do with this issue. If you're still getting the original issues, then I'd suggest going into App Manager and disabling all the catalogues, then exiting it again, restarting it, and re-enabling the catalogues. That should force a complete re-download of the repository metadata, which should fix the issue.

If that still doesn't fix it, then please post the new output from running "apt-get update" as root.
