That's strange, because I downloaded the setup-scripts
from www.angstrom-distribution.org.
Do I need to do anything else?

Have done a few modifications of the setup-script, but nothing that 
should affect this.
The connman-gnome repo is there, at kernel.org, but it is empty, and 
thus useless.

Will bitbake go ahead and try another repo in this case?
