According to upgrade Post, you should use Force-LoopBreak :
apt-get -u -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 install xbian-update

I've installed and configured over one hundred 1.05a instances (without issue) and this was a clean build onto a 4GB Class 10 card today.
I have the same problem with this beta version. It's only showing the default puzzle icons. I did a clean install using my 16gb SDCard, the same that I used to install the other versions.
I'll try another clean install later when I return home, at the end of the day.
About this release, nice performance, congratulations for this great version

Of course i did that, this is my step :
1/apt-get -u -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 install xbian-update
2/Error n1 on xbian-packages-firmware :
dpkg: error processing xbian-package-firmware (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
3/edit file /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbian-package-firmware.postinst
4/apt-get -u -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 install xbian-update
5/Error n2 in xbian-package-initframs.
6/Since that, when i do a apt-get -u -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 install xbian-update I have an error :
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
7/apt-get -f install error :
E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package xbian-package-config-shell:armhf due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
E: Reverse conflicts early remove for package 'dialog:armhf' failed
This is my steps to upgrade.
Thank you.
The update went perfect from 1.0 Alpha 5 (XBMC 12.2) to 1.0 Beta 1!
Looks likes everything is working well. The only thing I noticed is a difference in the USB mounting system. Standard the external HDD is not mounted under /media/usb anymore but to /media/HDD LABEL + ID. This breaks all the connections in my library, but it can be fixed with a new library scan. The Symlinks used for the download package are also gone, but they can also easily be created again.
So far so good. Thanks for working on this update.

ok, it was out from my competence so,
if it was mine, i would try :
apt-get -f -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 install
But maybe you have to wait info from other dev.
Sorry

What happened to Airplay support?
I updated my Alpha 5 system and now Airplay isn't working at all :/
My iPhone can't connect anymore, either does my mac or software like Airfoil.
The Airplay device is showing on all of those devices but it just doesn't connect. (If I connect through Airfoil, XBMC crashes and I have to restart my Pi. If I login through SSH and try to restart XBMC with the xbian config nothing happens)
A friend of mine is experiencing the same problems.

Sorry, can't help you more,
if you don't mind to reinstall, maybe try a new flash,
otherwise wait for others if it have a solution for you.

You don't have to do a new library scan, you can also create a symlink to point to the new location. So:
Terminal
sudo ln -s /media/newmountpoint /media/oldmountpoint
On one of my RPis I got stuck on tty1 login_ message, on all other ones AirPlay doesn't work.
FYI:
After running 'apt-get -u -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=1 install xbian-update' i got the message below halfway through.
Quote:cannot copy extracted data for './boot/start.elf' to '/boot/start.elf.dpkg-new' : failed to write (No space left on device)
I made some space on /boot (removed some old kernels). After that I ran 'apt-get -f install' and the installation finished without a problem.

I have this very same issue as well. Clean install but add-on icons show as the default puzzle symbol, homepage icons are transparent, and no weather icons.
Another odd one I found is if I SSH via Putty I don't get a "clean" xbian config menu. Rather than the menu using line characters to form the borders, I get a mess of q, k, and u characters which I have not had before when using putty on other builds. Exiting from XBMC and then logging in via my TV and displaying the xbian config displays the menu fine.
Should it be possible to upgrade Xbian if I run Xbian from an external USB drive? I tried to upgrade, but after reboot only the "PWR" LED is shining. Should I change something in the cmdline.txt file?
My file system is still functional and showing to be ext4 in Ubuntu. So it is not converted yet.
Folks: I followed the instructions only to be met by an interruption and then a corrupted SD card (re-imaging from my backup as I type this). Wall of output follows. I think my one deviation was that I exited out of XBMC from the GUI (could that have caused it?) before I started the process (notice the service interrupt failed):
