[maemo-developers] scratchbox2 environment

[From: Joshua Layne]

I have gotten a sb2 environment set up on my debian etch machine by half
upgrading it to lenny (testing) where necessary.

sb2 seems to mostly work, but I cannot actually install anything using
apt-get.  When I run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, I get the following:

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure: No such file or directory
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[SB2 emulate chinook40_armel] I have no name!@slate joshua $

so it looks like it is using the wrong dpkg (i.e. it is trying to use the
system dpkg)- I followed the instructions here:
http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org/install.html including the step to
replace the sb2 dpkg.

I do not want to try any apt-get command with sudo even inside sb2, because
if it is misconfigured, it could really trash my system (nor do the
examples show sb2 apt-get requiring sudo)

I ultimately (or initially at least) just want to be able to build roadmap
for maemo - I have tried:

sb2 ./configure from within the source directory and I get a missing
libgpsmgr-dev

apt-get install libgpsmgr-dev returns a package not found.

Is there a step I am missing?

Any pointers on getting up and running with this would be very much
appreciated.  Please let me know if I can provide any additional details.

Thanks in advance,
Josh
