May be slightly off topic for this forum but then again maybe not as the Beta release has been pulled. Question is how do I get a new build or upgrade of Xbian running XBMC 12.2? I'm still learning Linux so go easy!

I have a nicely working setup of Xbian 1.0A5 (XBMC 12.1) on a Pi and XBMC on a couple of PC's using a shared DB on my Synology NAS so I have been planning an upgrade gradually!

I did a fresh install of Xbian 1.0A5 on a test SD card on Sunday night followed by the upgrade commands I had found "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc -y" followed by the nightly install mentioned in the notes to fix the mouse jumping issue. All worked fine and it upgraded XBMC to version 12.2. So I was planning at some point to upgrade my live system!

But then the new Beta version was released on Tuesday (which I have tried!) and since then the upgrade commands above apart from the first get update command, fail to work! I assumed it would still work as its a different download package I guess!?

On Thursday the command "sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc -y" generated a lot of errors ending with the error "E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes"
As a test I ran the command again as "sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc -y --force-yes" and it did a lot more but still did not upgrade XBMC.

Today its changed again and results in the error below.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a working XBMC 12.2 version? Is there a simply fix or should I hold on XBMC 12.1 for now? And apologies if this post is too long!
