Yes. Nokia (edit akamai actually, or both). Yesterday. Forever (edit: fixed, until the akamai cache screws up again).

Oh, and don't waste your time filling bug reports (like I just did), since the bug tracker is also borked.

Yes, maemo extras is falling because an error with the package list.
There is an easy workaround what was explained in other thread:
1) Power on your tablet, if it's off.
2) Wait some seconds.
3) Connect to internet with the connection applet.
4) Open the Application Manager.
5) In the AM, go to the menu -> Tools -> Application catalogue.
6) Search maemo extras repository.
7) Edit, in Distribution write 4.1 if you are using Diablo, write 4.0 if you are using Chinook, or 2.2 if you are in OS2006 yet. Bora is working.
8) Refresh the application manager.

BTW, the bug tracker is working and better than never.

Edit: the workaround was explained for lorelei here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...528#post207528

Well, it apparently didn't work here: I got a "couidn't connect to mysql" error, not once but three times while trying to submit a bug report, which I later discovered it has actually been submitted. As you say, better than ever: it works even without the database

So, that's it? I can never get my Weather Applet again or try to get Sirius working??? :-(
