I had some sort of screw up and had to reflash; before, i had Maemo Synaptic, and it beat the hell out of HAM and even worked better than fapman; but now when i try to install it, apt-get complains about dependencies, with aptitude (which i can only use via command line, the gui segfauts), it goes thru the dependency chain but finally reaches a dead end:
How can i fix that, or otherwise have Maemo synaptic working? Do i need to sucessfully install Easy Debian first? (i've been having a bit of difficulties with that, every time either it fails, or during the image install process somthing goes bad and the device reboots with MyDocs turned readonly requiring me to reach for a Windows machine to recover it)

yes you need easy debian.

don't find a solution to get this work without easy debian.

it would be nice when synaptic run without it.
perhabs anybody can put/port sgml-data to extras-evel :P

Small update on the situation, i reflashed, and this time ED did install just fine, but i still having that sgml-data issue when trying to install Synpatic for Maemo itself...

download and install sgml-data from:
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/sgml-data

install with dpkg -i, followed by apt-get -f install.
after that attempt to install synaptic again.

if you have to come across a dependency problem for sgml-base and xml-core, install them the same way from:

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/sgml-base
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/xml-core

these packages have no further dependencies than sed and perl, so they should install fine.

I figured it out, i had to add the SDK repository, sgml-data can be found there
