I just wanted to install something from testing, but apt-get and hildon package manager are both reporting:

W: Failed to fetch http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...l/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (1)

for all repositories form maemo.org (extras, extras-testing and devel)

I still can download the packagefile to my computer, so obviously there is nothing wrong with the server..

What do I need to do?

btw: the search and threading display sucks big-time. Is there a way to download the forums database and search offline?

Unfortunately bzip2 error code is not very helpful:
Return values: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (file
not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, &c), 2 to indicate a corrupt com‐
pressed file, 3 for an internal consistency error (eg, bug) which
caused bzip2 to panic.
Do you have free storage space on your device?
What if you download the .bz2 file manually on the device (e.g. using curl), or use a browser to access the repository (just to check if network settings is ok).

I am using

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso31+0cssu0)

if I call bzip2 fromm commandline (regardless of user or root) I got:

bzip2: applet not found


How can I update busybox without repository available?

Thanks for your Help!

I also encountered this problem: simply download the .deb of busybox-power on your N900, and install it with
dpkg -i busybox-power-blabla.deb

Then it was ok for me.
