Hi, I've just got an OS 08.11 to test it and I've come across to an issue as 
I'd like to share my learnings.

The package manager seems no able to retrieve packages.

I' ve performed the installation in a VirtualBox, with a NAT Network 
connection, and Im behind a proxy.
Initially I've thought  the issue was the proxy, but HTTP_Proxy was correctly 
set.

After testing a bit I've found that, if I run /usr/bin/packagemanager from a 
shell logged as su everything was working

Testing more I've found that running from a shell (as normal user) "gksu 
/usr/bin/packagemanager" make the work, while the launcher with the same 
command line does not work.

Don't know if launching it by the icon on the desktop does not allow gksu to 
take env. variable or whatelse, but I confirm that running it from the shell 
works correctly.

Hope this can help!
