Having just updated I've been wondering the same.

I imagine it's because it's still got too many significant bugs, e.g. status.
I was expecting these would have been resolved, ready for diablo.

Oh well, at least this still works with Diablo.

You have to be in "red pill" mode.

They were too busy polishing the Modest e-mail client into a perfect gem.

Change the collabora, and rtcomm repos in application manager. Change them from the blank distrobution to say "chinook" (without quotes)

ok, these two repos already said chinook under distribution. maybe there's some other repo that's not working . there's a long list of packages it can't install . including

libpurple0
telepathy-salut
osso-imlogviewer
etc

Check the repository list in your tablet's Application Manager. Following the RTCOMM Beta installation instructions will result in the creation of a new "maemo Extras" repository entry, and that entry will have a blank "Distribution" line.

When the "Distribution" line is left blank for a repository, the Application Manager will substitute in the version of the OS your tablet runs, in this case "Diablo". As RTCOMM Beta needs bits from maemo Extras "Chinook", this isn't very helpful.

As you go through the RTCOMM Beta installation instructions, watch what each step does. One of the .INSTALL files creates the unhelpful maemo Extras repository entry. After it does so, take a short break from following the instructions, and fix up Application Manager's repository list before proceeding. Either make sure you have only one "maemo Extras" entry that has "Chinook Diablo" on the Distribution line, or have two separate entries, "maemo Extras (Chinook)" and "maemo Extras (Diablo)", with corresponding "Chinook" and "Diablo" Distribution lines.

Just "Maemo Chinook", minus the Extras, was the missing link for me.
i.e. URL without /extras prefix:

URL: http://repository.maemo.org/
Distribution:chinook
Components: free non-free

Just a heads up: If ICQ (e.g. via Pidgin/GAIM) doesn't work then that is because AOL dropped support for older ICQ versions. Many clients using the ICQ protocol suffered from this problem. Some can easily fix it in config others need a patch in software. For Pidgin, you need new software, IIRC 2.4.3 solved it. But, if it isn't packaged yet you're out of luck.
