- you don't mention exactly how you did this, but this *definitely* won't work under OS2007's app manager, as it requires an entry for the distribution, and results in an "Enter distribution first" error dialog...

- nor will a manual edit of /etc/apt/sources.list using an empty distribution string work either!

- i'd be interested in a listing of your /etc/apt/sources.list in this instance...

hi linux_author.
this was(as far as i know) a os2008 problem so therefore i don't recommend it in ur case, apparently os2008 has somesort of a bug that by specifying a dist. causes the app mangr to crash but as far as i tested for os2007 all the std repos work just fine so you dont need to do this method, however if it doesnt work the solutionis to take ''i'' out of repository=http://repostory.maemo.org/extras and the dist nust be bora

-open the drop down menu, go to tools and app... catalogues and delete all of the items there then follow the above steps to add the correct one,
-before u begin installing anything reboot your nokia, that is it.
I have a used N800, recently upgraded to OS2008. I haven't been able to install anything on it.
Particularly mapper. I followed all of those instructions, rebooted and still can't install, either by clicking on the deb from the browser or through the app manager. It gives a list of missing packages, 9 files are listed.
I saved it to disk and the app manager shows no installables.
