Hi,
    I am trying to install the maemo 4.0 chinook and everytime it tries to
run an apt-get update on the armel target it says

Running apt-get update on 'CHINOOK_ARMEL'.
Ign file: chinook Release.gpg
Ign file: chinook Release
Err http://repostory.maemo.org chinook Release.gpg
  Temporary failure resolving ' repostory.maemo.org'
Failed to fetch http://repostory.maemo.org/dists/chinook/Release.gpg
Temporary failure resolving ' repostory.maemo.org'
Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
E: Unable to run 'apt-get update' on the target.
E: Please correct any network problems.
E: Scratchbox login returned error 100.

The installation process was unable to run 'apt-get update' inside
the installed targets in order to update the local package database.
This could be due to an error in network configuration inside scratchbox.
Common causes are incorrect proxy       settings and the 'hosts' line in
/chinook/scratchbox/etc/nsswitch.conf.
For the 'hosts' line in /scratchbox/etc/nsswitch.conf the following
should usually be enough:
hosts:          files dns

Once network issues have been resolved, you should run the installer again.

but when i checked the nsswich.conf file has host setup as files dns only.
dosent look like a problem with the network.

this happens even when I try with repository.maemo.org also.

Because of this the installation is not getting complete i get the same
error even when i try to run an apt-get update inside the target.

I was able to do an apt-get update and install on the i386 target but
because my armel target is not set-up i am not able to work on the emulator.

Can someone please help.

I was told that the repository is up but looks like there are still some
issues.......any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Harini
