Getting this too what's happening? Anyone managed to solve this in any way? Who is responsible for the repos?

Explanation: The packages lists that apt (the backend for every application manager on n900) needs to be able to download to know what packages are installable have become corrupted on the repository.maemo.org server.

Solution: whoever manages repository.maemo.org needs to figure out what went wrong and fix it. Beyond that - nothing you or I can do, aside from possibly voting for the bug already reported (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11348), which may or may not do anything useful.

Thanks for the explanation, I voted as well.

I am not sure if filling a bug report would help at all.

Whoever manages the repos needs to get this sorted. It is really worrying that it hasn't been sorted yet. It basically means that nobody is monitoring the repositories.

Also it is impossible to install/update maemo SDK due to this issue. Some people here report that this repo is working for them - how is that possible?

Although I tend to agree with you, a bug report is at least a start.

That is also a concern, with Nokia dropping support for the N900, how will this affect the Nokia repositories in the long term. Maemo I can understand, maybe someone is have a bad day

Just checked in @ the #maemo channel on Freenode and they're aware of the problem (it's mentioned in the topic).

MohammadAG pinged him some time ago. Indeed, I expect there's been a fair bit of talk about this issue on IRC. I don't know who has rights to flush the cache, but I imagine this will come up during discussions concerning the handover of maemo.org.

Apparently this has happened before so maybe, for this specific issue, a cron job could check the Packages.gz file and recreate it (flush the cache) if it didn't pass the test (gunzip, verify contents etc)...
