Open console, gain root and edit this file with nano:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
Paste this lines inside that file:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
Paste this lines inside that file:
Code:
deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/ ./ deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/002 ./ deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/ ./ deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle-1.2 free non-free deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing fremantle free non-free deb https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/apps/ ./

I got root via: rootsh and typing: sudo gainroot.
launched nano
opened the list
and pasted your lines, did a reboot but still a broken app. manager
In Nano I user ctrl + o to output to the same list, overwriting the file.
after a few reboots and re-editing the above file, checking if I didn't make a mistake, I checked the catalog list within the app. manager and it seems it has just added your supplied lines to the original (corrupt list)

I too got lots of issues after installing aptitude, then tries to find the issue in console and found out that dpkg (the application that handles actual installation of the files and all that) always failed because aptitude had somehow screwed it up.
Couldn't find any way whatsoever of repairing the situation, nor would it remove aptitude either because it always crashed, even when using "--force-all" to dpkg.
Result: I had to re-flash my phone to get it working again.

apt-get update
And see what errors it gives.

I recieved no feedback because I stupidly installed it via the app manager first.... and because of my lack of reading skills the following catalogues have been added:
deb http://www.fatal.se/pub/ah-maemo-repo/ fremantle free non-free
deb-src http://www.fatal.se/pub/ah-maemo-repo/ fremantle free non-free
rygel
and now the app. manager gives me "operation failed" on launch. And "no applications installed" when selecting download or uninstall.
As I am a complete noob in the world of Linux and command lines I have no clue how to fix this..
maybe I can edit the catalogues save file to remove the 3 faulty lines??
thanks for your time,
G
