Hello, If you install scratchbox by following the instructions and in case of uninstall, do it cleanly with following the instructions (that all can be found e.g. from www.scratchbox.org in addition to the instructions in maemo.org), you should have no problems. Please be sure that you edit correct sources.list though (_inside_ the scratchbox)... I once edited the sources.list of my Ubuntu to get source packages from maemo repository with apt-get (outside scratchbox) and next time when I did dist-upgrade, I forgot to remove the additional repositories and everyone can guess what happened... Fortunately it didn't take that long time to reinstall Ubuntu (the most painless Linux installation I have seen) and updating it always works flawlessly (and is pretty quick too), so it was back up and running in few hours (it did not worth trying to resolve the installed broken packages by hand, so I reinstalled everything back then). There is room for another little mistake. When you install the rootsrap, be sure to do it _inside_ the scratchbox (meaning that you are not only in your scratchbox home directory but logged inside the SB)! :D Anyway, congratulations, and have fun!
