General, I bought a Nokia product. In order to officially update that product they foward me to the Maemo Website. I don't care and I don't have or want to care if Maemo is or is not part of Nokia.

I only know that I can't or couldn't update my tablet as their advertised.

Ummm, I can't find pitchfork*.deb or torch*.deb for os2008, have they been ported from the 770, or do I have to change my source to suppository.maemo.org? ...

... and when you look at it, it has the word NOKIA on it.

Their name, their problem.

Perhaps all those Amazon sales should ask for a refund. Perhaps Amazon (or other retailers faced with a high percentage of returns) will rethink sales participation in other NOKIA products.

Their name, their problem...

I understand you guys' frustration, but it's fixed, so why are you still complaining? I have OS2008 running fine on my N800, and have all the apps that I had before (minus the ones that the developers haven't ported, obviously). So what's the big deal?

dude, did you not read? Go into the application manager and change the maemo extras repository URL from "repository" to "repostory".

Because it's NOT fixed - Python from extras and anything from extras-devel are still broken.

Yes, we have a temporary workaround but the original problem still exists from day 1 of the launch. By the time Nokia staffers begin to start looking at fixing the original problem on 2 January it will be over two weeks of confusion and aggravation that the paying customers have had to endure, which is totally unacceptable.

Only people who frequent this forum will be aware of the work around, ordinary users will be wondering what the feck is wrong with their device or network and wondering why it doesn't work as promised by Nokia. Nokia have left users high and dry this holiday period - it's obvious this project is under resourced but the poor management decision making which has led to this problem continuing for as long as it has takes my breath away.

And that's the big deal.

As far as I can tell, even the 'workarounds' are broken.

I've tried the no-'i' repostory, and python is 'broken' on install (C1.0-2).
I've tried the alternate repository naming as 'stage.maemo.com'; it was argued that anything other than 'repository' would fall back on the backup repository, Python still broken.
I've tried the tabletrepo.com (Canola, some Python elements) and the other wolf-something mirror repository and I still get a broken Python install.
So at lest for me, things are a no-go.
Am I missing something subtle on the workarounds?
How can I tell how 'broken' is 'broken'? Where's the x-ray runtime library for this thing?

You'll have to roll your own .deb
