Hi,

I haven't updated my xbian for quite some time (since April) and I am now on RC1 (at least in XBMC Gotham (some Nightly) it claims so. I want to update to RC2 and tried to do so using apt-get. After updating and rebooting twice, I am now stuck at the following situation.

xbian-package-xbmc-scripts xbian-update
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.

Trying to do a dist-upgrade now ends in a really strong warning.

So.... should it do as I say? Or is there a way not incurring so much nerve-wrecking messages to upgrade the packages? Do you need any more information from me?
