As seen the problem is in creating the symlink. And the error is the "." in the beginning. Where is this symlink defined so I can remove the dot?

@Roxxor
1) just do

Code:

sudo -i
touch ./usr/share/doc/base-files/FAQ
dpkg --configure -a

3) absolutely yes don't be affraid

2) apt-get will list automatically some packages as hold when their dependencies change. they can be installed when you manually list them to apt-get command line, or --- more convenient --- use xbian-config and menut 5.

currently not. the other players are part of XBian because they are essential component of XBMC itself. but they lack RPI support completely.

we are currently evaluating the variant to build extra XBMC version with RPI support directly in XBMC components (what would mean ALSA SUPPORT, PULSE AUDIo - so other audio cards - OMX support directly in DVDPLAYER etc...

yesterday I had discussion with popcornmix who is developing those patches and although it can be demonstrated as working, it is not suitable for standard use - and for long will not be. to support even standard iTunes HD videos - core components of XBMC needs to be rewritten so currently it is for developers and users who do not use RPI for media layback.

but we have all technical info needed to start building it so maybe we will. but again, it can't deliver what is expected in any area (at that moment).
