Run apt-get update as root. Maybe the App Manager is touchy.. once those files are rebuilt the AM is fine.

I'm actually really pissed off. This expensive phone can't even install any applications. And if it's my internet's fault, what can I do to fix it?

Can I get a copy/paste of:
Code:
apt-get update

Can I get a copy/paste of:
from a terminal on both?Code:apt-get update
with the apt-get, it just says "could not open lock file...." etc

OK, I did "apt-get update".
It seems that it completed it's task, at least for extras-devel - it says:
Done.
W: GPG error: http://repository.maemo.org fremantle Release: The following signature were invalid: BADSIG E40...BD maemo.org Extras repositories (Fremantle Extras) <repositories@maemo.org>
W: You may want to run aot-get update to correct these problems
And files /var/lib/apt/lists/repository* do exist again and there is 'packageview' in one of them (extras-devel) with NEW version.
But Application manager still insists - "(no updates)", and doesn't show 3g2g-switcher*.
So, anything is OK, repository files are OK, but Application Manager doesn't want to accept because "Ignoring version from wrong domain". It is seemed as a deliberate behavior now.

You say on 3G it updates the Maemo.org repository. I *think* that is where rootsh is.. can you do a search for me and see if it's installable?

Also, try over a period and do it several times. I've found that repositories have an odd way of simply not working several minutes.
I always get the same issue: Could not resolve repositories,maemo.org. If after a failed update one clicks the Details and selects a repository, after a second the error is added in red at the bottom.
So I just madly click until I get no error.
And yes, Stop does nothing, it used to, but no longer.
