If your trying to upgrade to Beta 2, I'd check your sources file is correct.
It should read

Code:

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rp

i

deb http://xbian.brantje.com stable main

This seems to be an "old" error:

The following packages have been kept back:
xbian-package-firmware xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-kernel
xbian-package-splash xbian-package-xbmc xbian-update

The solution being:

Terminal

apt-get install xbian-package-firmware xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-kernel xbian-package-splash xbian-package-xbmc xbian-update

So try installing those packages that had been kept back - Xbian-update must be the last package.

If you change sources.list - do
apt-get clean first, then update, then upgrade.
