I can't seem to delete one of the application catalogues from Application manager. The specific catalogue is:
deb http://www.devicescape.com/download/debian/chinook

When I select it, Edit and Delete buttons are greyed out. Unfortunately all installs fail because this catalogue is apparently unreachable. Is there anyting I can do apart from reflashing?

Thanks!

Get root, then edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list and remove the offending line; not sure, but you may have to edit /etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues, too.

Thanks for the tip, but I could not find the offending catalogue in neither file! There are only maemo and maemo extras listed inside...

Then it's not there; this would explain why you can't remove it, but not why it's showing up...

Sorry to be out of useful ideas. (A reboot maybe?)

It's probably not hurting anything, anyway.

I tried moultiple reboots...maybe it is cachng this information somewhere? I can even install Devicescape if I try it.
Maybe I should add this catalogue manually int he files above and then delete it!

It's actually in /etc/apt/sources.list

The application manager will show sources in there but not let you manage ones in that file.

Qwerty's location is for OS2007 and below, Benson's - OS2008 and up.

You shouldn't need to edit this one:
/etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues

True but devicescape for OS2008 still puts it's deb line there and the application manager in OS2008 shows it from that file, just doesn't let you manage it (I still have a line in my /etc/apt/sources.list which points to my diablo repo on my memory card and it shows up in application manager; just doesn't let me manage it)

I see. Broken backwards compatibility. apt-get doesn't needs that anyway, why did they leave it? I'm not expecting an answer.
