The older fix for this sort of problem is to go to the command line.
Become root. If you don't know what that means, find out before going further.
As root, run apt-get update
If you get error messages, you will often get instructions for how to fix the problem -- for example, using the -f parameter.
Maybe it was my imagination, but there seemed to me to be improvements in how the apt-get process worked on the N900, meaning that fixes like adding -f actually fixed the problem!
If you can't solve the problem, the error messages you get when running apt-get update are handy things to post when asking for help.
