see, i knew it. i knew you would give me the obvious link i missed. before asking i asked google, looked through your twitter account, thorugh your profile here & @xda, looked in the threads here and @xda, but as it goes i forgot to check THIS thread...
checking now...

[kendon]

not better here:

localhost:/# apt-get update
Hit [url="http://ftp.de.debian.org"]http://ftp.de.debian.org[/url] lenny Release.gpg

Hit [url="http://ftp.de.debian.org"]http://ftp.de.debian.org[/url] lenny/main Packages

localhost:/# 

but i will check this later at home. i am currently at work, i don't have wifi here, and not really time to look into this
btw, i had to overwrite /etc/resolv.conf again, as it had the default values again, is that normal? i would have guessed changes are persistent?

edit: forgot to update the bootdeb in /system/bin... did it now, didn't help though:

localhost:/# apt-get update

Hm, whichever twitteraccount you checked, it wasn't mine, I don't even live in colorado.

I'm sorry it doesn't work out for you. To test things I just made an update to Debian 5.03 over umts (took a moment). It worked flawlessly. May get I a "df -h" from within your debian, please? An strace of apt-get might be helpfull to.

Unfortunatly I will be preocupied the next two days, so please don't get upset if I won't reply for some time. But I will look into this.

Niki

i have never heard of strace, from ubuntus man page i think i got what it is. problem here is:

localhost:~# strace apt-get update
-bash: strace: command not found

or am i doing it wrong?

lol fire and hit
this did the trick:

I went to reportbug to do this. There were a bunch of bugs previously filed a
while back about segfaults caused by corrupt /var/cache/apt/*.bin. Taking the
clue, I deleted the contents and let it redo them. Voile.

now i got a missing public key, but i guess this was what i deleted with the *bin? anyway, i can deal with that  

edit: working fine now apt-get upgrade is running right now.
btw, when im done with the upgrade, am i running 5.03 then? never really understood the whole debian version thingy, just a dumb ubuntu user

can you download from http://www.megaupload.com? click on top100 at the top and download anything.

yes, it contains an image file, that is mounted for the debian system and contains the filesystem.

Just for a few laughs, I decided to see if i could get debian running on the android over nbd (network block device), and actually succeeded. Originally, my intent was to see if the phone could support nbd and iscsi at all (nbd it can, iscsi requires alot more effort though it should be possible)

Dont know if anyones interested in this, but it requires a network (wifi/usb) connection and a server running the nbd-server component. The advantage (for me) was that I could use a much larger debian image and not have it taking up the precious space on my sd card.

The (huge) disadvantage to this is that when wifi goes away so does your disk, and nbd aint fantastic as network block devices go.

The very rough howto:
1) compile the nbd kernel module (against technologists kernel)
2) compile nbd-client (requires the android platform or at least the arm-eabi compiler and is not a trivial exercise)
3) run up the nbd-server pointing at the debian image (on a machine on the lan)
4) create the /dev/nbd0 device
4) start nbd-client on the phone
5) edit bootdeb to use /dev/nbd0 rather then /sdcard/debian/debian.img.
