[maemo-developers] Network connection with hildon-app-mgr in the scratchbox

Hi,

After installing all this stuff:
  - Scratchbox Apophis r4             [1]
  - Maemo 4.0 Chinook alpha SDK       [2]
  - Hildon application manager (SVN)  [3]

...and compiling hildon-application-manager without problem I can
perfectly run it but I can't get network connection so I'm not able to
install anything from the repositories using this program.

I know I can install all what I want from the scratchbox command line
with 'apt-get' as usual, but the fact is that I'd like to know why this
strange behavior occurs with the application manager, since it's
something which doesn't happen with other installed programs from the
emu, such as the osso-xterm (I can do an 'wget URL' without problems
using this app).

I've tried to look into the code to see if I can find what it's going
wrong there but all I got is a problem resolving the name of the
repositories in the apt client utility built-in with the
hildon-application-manager... but I don't know why it happens either.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Mario
