When ever I try to install themes I receive an error message in Application manager about the installation file being corrupt. Please help.

I also get this error while trying to install a few applications such as canola, kagu, media box. It seems like it only does it with files > 5mb. Like others are saying its probably the servers overloaded. Sucks! I just got my n800 and i was dying to install a media player to check out!

But still loving my n800 and all the user support is great!

I keep getting this too, it's very frustrating. I even got it at 5am, when there wasn't any lag on the servers, so it seems to be more than just servers being overloaded.

Just to narrow it down a bit, all of the applications that won't install for me use python, and the corruption appears to come when they install the python 2.5 as a prerequisite. Python won't install standalone either. But.. Python itself is 5.2mb (and is what makes these other apps over 5mb since they are installing python as a prereq). I'm beginning to doubt that the problem is with the server being overloaded.

I got the same with any installation over 5 megs:
-Gnumeric
-Python runtime
-Quetoo
-UKMP
I live in Poland, so I should be downloading while most ot you guys are in bed and offline... still, doesn't work.
I guess we just gotta wait a bit.

People, I know!!
All the installations mentionned above (except Gnumeric, which I don't understand) want to update libsqlite3-0. Now this bastard is on my "check for updates" list and won't uprgade properly (update file corrupted).
I tried the http://repository.maemo.org/extras/d...ite3-0.install file, not better.
So I say we deal with libsqlite3-0. Ideas anyone?

I ran into this error message yesterday SEVERAL times while trying to install Canola2 on my N800 with OS2007. I ended up disabling ALL the repositories in the Application catalog EXCEPT for the following 3:
-Nokia Catalogue,
-http://repository.maemo.org bora free non-free
-http://repository.maemo.org/extras bora free non-free

In addition, I was in Red Pill mode.

This may be too limiting for some folks (as far as what you can install), but it helped me with Canola2.

Otherwise, I would think that the repositories are still screwed up...

Sure, pick a deb from:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...e/p/python2.5/
and tell us what happens.
