maemo update in scratchbox

[jesus1710]

Hi!!!

i have a debian with scratchbox installed. I have to recompile the kernel into the scratchbox in order to run an SCTP aplication. So i need to update the package list, but when i type:

[sbox- MAEMO_KERNEL: ~] > apt-get update

i obtain this:

deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/contrib/ mistral free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ mistral free non-free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ mistral free non-free

network is working OK.

Thanks

You must close Application Manager BEFOR apt-get start. In your case it is looking like shared access to sources.list, bbut it's not possible.

sorry, but i'm noob.

I may have had a similar problem, network was working, but not dns. Look for resolv.conf,, and setup DNS, inside scratchbox

find / -name resolv.conf


edit it, and add valid DNS servers, instead of 127.0.0.1

[jesus1710]

resolv.conf is OK :(

above i have observed errors like that:

This last error is saying (couldn't stat means they aren't there) that you don't have the info from the sources. You need to run apt-get update, and if the network isn't working, you need to fix it, so that apt-get update works. Looks like DNS might be something to think about.

I ran into the same problem and solved it.

/scratchbox/etc/resolv.conf wasn't symlinked, so it picked up a DNS server I only can access from one system. And it wasn't clear that it was reading it from anything I was doing.

I could fix the symlink or whatever, but instead I moved to opendns.com nameservers, replacing the file with:

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
