Please post the log or protocol from the Hildon Application Manager or, if you have rootsh installed, please post the output of
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get update

Enable RD mode if you want to break your device
apt-get update
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (3) Permission denied.
E: unable to lock the list directory

you need to install rootsh for sudo gainroot to work

If you've just reflashed you device, I would suggest doing so again. It might be a bit tricky to do anything with the normal app-man because rootsh is needed, and to install rootsh would probably need R & D mode.
Have you tried disabling all your repositories and re-enabling them 1 by 1?
Once you get things working again, I recommend you use Faster Application Manager (fapman) - it's a GUI for apt-get and often more reliable than the built-in app-man.

i'm going to flash this: RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM
then, this: RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM

is that what are you talking about ?!
thanks for the post

You might want to consider the following:
a) There are countries, that block access to the repos. Are you hit by this?
b) Here is the wiki article about flashing the firmware: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware
c) If you want to install rootsh, you need the extras repository enabled in HildonApplicationManager.

download and it on your n900 click on rootsh.deb and it should automatically install via app manager.
