I tried removing the packages manually but was unable to do that.
Is there any way to fix this?

Sounds like something (Transmission - did you follow the Xbian guide?) has installed different versions of some programs.

If you know when you had a good system, you could try the XBMC - Xbian-Config -> Backup -> Rollback to a snapshot function.

I've not used it in earnest but you can only try.
