It should look like this

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/ ./

You should have 9 lines left after editing it..


To edit it you could use Vi.
1. vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list
2. i (to start editing)
3. edit by removing the lines that are doubletts
4. Esc (in the bottom of xterm)
5. :wq (to save and quit)

Re: application manager is messed up
 

I bolded the double entries for you

e: forget the vim part. just copypaste this to terminal if you dare (standard precautions and warnings here):

Re: application manager is messed up
 

how do i delete the empty lines? backspacing doesn't delete them; is it okay to have blank lines? here's how it looks:

i have also just tried application manager with this change, and it still says "Operation Failed." Is a reboot required, or what should i do next?

Re: application manager is messed up
 

The extras-testing line should say "deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free". Not "fremantle-1.2".

To edit you use "i" and to save you press Esc followed by ":wq". When you have pressed "i" you could edit it like in any normal editor. To open and edit it..
1. sudo gainroot
2. vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

You could use cat to see if everything looks alright:
3. cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

Then update:
4. apt-get update
