Hi, I have made screenshot's of every command.
I hope it's easier to read now.

















Here are the beginning and the end of the command(between those screenshots it is always the same procedure)







Now 2 commands in 1 screenshot:


And the last...


Fingers crossed you can see the screenshots!

Thanks!

I forgot to mention (maybe it helps), that I always use "sudo gainroot" with the commands.



Thanks

Please try to reinstall dpkg from my dropbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59165022/dpk...B0m5_armel.deb . Either use the dpkg command to install it or to extract it.or to extractPlease post here if any errors still remain.

When I try to install the .deb file, I get the output :
dpkg: unable to acces dpkg status area: No such file or directory

When I try to extract the file I get : failed to read archive 'dpkg_1.14.25maemo3+0m5_armel': No such file or directory

Then I tried the command :
dpkg -x /home/user/MyDocs/dpkg_1.14.25maemo3+0m5_armel /var/lib/dpkg
And I've got no error message's. So the extraction has worked...
Then I have tried to update the packages, but I get the error :
Reading Package lists...Error!
E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2 No such file or directory)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.





Thanks

Please try if creating an empty status file get things startedFiles statoveride, diversions, available may be created also with touch in that directory, but may just be created in the dpkg command...

Hi,

I tried the command and it worked, but when I do apt-get update, it can read the package lists (Reading package lists...Done) But then it says:
"W: GPG error: https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com / release : The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1349249545 " and more KEYEXPIRED things...


Thanks!

This is just a warning because of the key for the Nokia repository which had expired some time ago and Nokia are far too busy loosing their money, than sparing the time to crate a fresh new key and sign the packages with it....
Then try to install some stuff, like make sure to reinstall dpkg by the package manager apt-get since nobody really knows, if the extraction of the package did some harm to regular dpkg

It does try to install dpkg, but then it says: "Failed to fetch https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fr...+0m5_armel.deb
Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transfered the last 120 seconds
E: unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? "

Do I need to try this ?



Thanks!

Well, it is a suggestion.
May be it is really just a temporary failure, but it downloads just fine here.

hmmm, I have tried --fix-missing and several apt-get update's, but with no succes. I have tried to install some applications, but it fails to install. I'm going to try reinstalling the dpkg again today.



Thanks
