I think "An error ocurred, return value: 2." roughly translates to "I 
can't access the packages".  Have you checked that your network 
connection works?  The usual reason for it not working is an empty 
/etc/resolv.conf.  First you need to move the symbolic link to the 
non-existent file out of the way:

cd /etc
mv resolv.conf resolv.conf.old

Then you need to create a new /etc/resolv.conf file and put in some 
nameserver lines so that DNS resolving works.  You can either install 
dnsmasq on your desktop computer and then put:

nameserver 192.168.0.200

into your resolv.conf, or you can just copy the contents of the 
resolv.conf from your desktop to your openmoko.
