Package not found usually means the repo is not enabled. If you downloaded the deb but it doesn´t want to install with HAM it probably has dependency issue. You can try this from the command line, though and see what happens.

Assuming you have changed directory to the location where your deb file resides.

Code:
root
dpkg -i package.deb
If that doesn´t work, I´d try first as root
Code:
apt-get -f install
and than try again.

As root, type

Code:
dpkg --configure -a
to solve conf problems.

Code:
apt-cache depends preenv
This will tell you which dependencies you need. Install the deps with apt-get.

However, provided you have all relevant repo´s enabled, your dependencies should be solved automatically by running as root

Code:
apt-get install preenv

The developer of Preenv actively monitors the following 2 threads:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=64392
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39809

Might be worth posting issues related to Preenv there...

Did you update your repos after enabling them?
Code:
root
apt-get update

Check your applied repos with integrated nokia file manager and then refresh your repos with it. What does it tell you?
