Its still the same.I tried by pass application manager and try to install it using the xterm by typing sudo gainroot > sudo apt-get install fapman. which i saw in another forum. but it seems that it says user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. I am quite puzzled with this issues. Hope someone can help me up with this as soon as possible. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks
sudo gainroot apt-get install fapman

The difference from yours is "sudo " part of the command. "sudo " prefix is unnecessary when you have already typed "sudo gainroot" on one of the previous lines.

For gaining root on N900 you need rootsh installed which is again from the repositories, which are currently down. I bet that's also the issue you are having, that maemo repositories are down: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1314588
&
For using sudo you need to have the package sudser. Best would be to download the rootsh.deb manually from one of the mirrors and install it. It will allow you to further investigate and play with apt-get

extras-testing is/was disabled. Also, if you really read the forum, there's a big nice notification displayed almost on top of every page:

Notices
See this thread for more info!Repositories (application catalogues ) are temporarily not working due to migration to community driven infrastructure. They may come up for some test and vanish again.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
