Hi guys,

I am trying to update my second RPI for some days now, but I do not understand,
why it is not going to a newer version with:


sources.list.d/xbian.list:


sources.list:

Anything wrong here or any ideas/solutions?

Did you follow the FAQ on the frontpage?

Yes, of course, twice. It seems, my sources.list and the other file are correct, too.

That is the output after an update try:

---

So, the question is why kept back/not upgraded ... and how to force it?

By doing an apt-get dist-upgrade for this once.

Thanks, but that led to:

And:
apt-get install xbian-update

apt-get install xbian-update

... which led to:

Did not I do that in the first post? Here:

My mistake

Please add rpi-wheezy to the end of each line.

Okay, done:


... and tried apt-get dist-update and apt-get xbian-update again.

Both led to the same output as above. :\

You need to apt-get update -f when modifying sources. Any better?

Same thing:


I tried update -f and then upgrade -f. No difference.

@syco

is this really from A5 ?
Only TESTED (and originally prepared/designed) upgrade way from A5 was through A5->B1->B2->XXX.

XBian preB2 releases required strict DOWN-oneversion-UP policy when upgrading because specially xbian-update-magic (and content) was containing ONLY INCREMENTAL differences between those versions.
Only with B2 and higher previous/current state doesn't matter because none XBian package currently depends on it's predecessor (except for data of course).

Yes, that means that you should be able to upgrade from A5 to current with no issues - and yes, technically you can. What is holding you back are not aligned version dependencies currently valid with version ~4 generations old.
If you want to keep your A5 systems, update this hackerish way: force remove all XBian packages, install back.

so on running A5:

No, no, I do not want to stay on 1.05a. I want to upgrade to the newest version, either RC2 or RC3 ... and that is not working, as you can see following this thread history.
