Hi, I'm trying (unsuccesffully) to port Michael Mlivoncic's JPilot
Package for N770 to the N800 with OS2007:

http://michaels770.blogspot.com/2006/03/jpilot-package-for-n770.html

In fact, I don't need pilot-link, as far as I want to use the N800 as 
a replacement for the Palm, but I need to recover my data, and to keep
using jpilot on my Linux boxes.

When trying, in the appropriate directory: 

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -d

the sbox-SDK_ARMEL replies :

unable to execute /scratchbox/compilers/host-gcc/bin/gcc: No such file
or directory

When trying "apt-get install dpkg-dev", the result is:

dpkg-dev: Depends: perl5 but it is not installable
Depends: perl-modules but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

But:

dpkg -l | grep perl gives:
ii perl 5.8.4+virtual1 perl from Scratchbox
ii perl-base 5.8.4+virtual1 perl-base from Scratchbox

Any hint would be appreciated (my mileage with scratchbox is very
short, as you may see).
