I don't understand.
Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly.
It says I miss a couple of packages.
I tried to add the first one with the cmd line, but then for that one it says I'm missing something else. When I try to add that one else, it says I'm missing the first one I tried to add.

I'll try to copy/paste the errors when I get home.

Ok, so, fresh restart from alpha 5.

I edited my sources.list, as said by Coolopke with

Terminal

deb http://xbian.brantje.com wheezy main
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free $
deb mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt wheezy main

Then, I got :

Terminal

So again, I used the cmd by Coolopke :

Terminal

sudo apt-get install -f xbian-update=1.0.2-8d xbian-package-config-shell=2.1.6-51a xbian-package-initramfs-tools=1.3.1-5b xbian-package-xbmc-scripts libhal-storage1 libhal1

which gives me :

Terminal

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Which package am I supposed to install then?

[mk01]

Don't use versions. These you listed are now also obsolete. Looking at outputs, try this:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-update xbian-package-config-shell xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-xbmc-scripts libhal-storage1 libhal1 xbian-package-config-xbmc xbian-package-kernel xbian-package-lirc xbian-package-xbmc

what I meant before you see in this commands. if apt-get complains again about some other packages (or version), just don't try to install it separately before, but add them to command I posted above.

---

for the error on updating kernel (that it wants to overwrite file belonging to another package) remove the file listed from

Code:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/xbian-update.list

[anagram]

apt-get didn't complain before the messages I pasted.
If I try the

Terminal

sudo apt-get install xbian-update xbian-package-config-shell xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-xbmc-scripts libhal-storage1 libhal1 xbian-package-config-xbmc xbian-package-kernel xbian-package-lirc xbian-package-xbmc

I get this :

Terminal

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
xbian-package-config-shell is already the newest version.
xbian-package-config-xbmc is already the newest version.
xbian-package-initramfs-tools is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbian-package-xbmc : Depends: xbian-package-shairplay but it is not going to be installed

xbian-package-cec-6q but it is not installable
PreDepends: autofs but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

About the other thing, I have to -rm -r all the files listed in the xbian-update.list?

I'm very sorry if I seem stupdi, I'm a newbie with Linux, I vaguely understand the things I do, but have almost zero experience..
Thanks !

@anagram

no all files, just those listed as "conflicting". in the case you posted it was "/lib/firmware/carl9170-1.fw" (and I suppose this will be just this one file). so open /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbian-update.list and remove just the one line containing /lib/firmware/carl9170-1.fw.

regarding the apt-get update run, just do as I told you. the new listed packages as missing dependencies add to the "apt-get install" line.
so now it would look like:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-update xbian-package-config-shell xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-xbmc-scripts libhal-storage1 libhal1 xbian-package-config-xbmc xbian-package-kernel xbian-package-lirc xbian-package-xbmc xbian-package-libtag xbian-package-shairplay xbian-package-cec libmad0 unattended-upgrades xbian-package-vnc-server autofs

[anagram]

Thanks.
Takes me a bit further.

With your apt-get cmd, I got this message :

Terminal

xbian-package-cec : Depends: inetutils-ping but it is not going to be installed
xbian-package-config-shell : Depends: xbian-package-xbianhome but it is not going to be installed
xbian-package-initramfs-tools : Depends: xbian-package-splash (>= 2.0.2) but 1.0.1-4 is to be installed
xbian-package-vnc-server : Depends: libvncserver0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libp11-kit-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So I've added them again to the apt-get cmd you gave me to make this one :

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-update xbian-package-config-shell xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-xbmc-scripts libhal-storage1 libhal1 xbian-package-config-xbmc xbian-package-kernel xbian-package-lirc xbian-package-xbmc xbian-package-libtag xbian-package-shairplay xbian-package-cec libmad0 unattended-upgrades xbian-package-vnc-server inetutils-ping xbian-package-xbianhome xbian-package-splash libvncserver0 libp11-kit-dev autofs

But it gives me this error :

Terminal

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
inetutils-ping : Conflicts: ping
iputils-ping : Conflicts: ping
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I've had a look in the xbian-update.list just in case, but there is no ping (nor inetutils-ping nor iputils-ping).

[anagram]

Any idea about that conflicting ping error?

[mk01]

yes, I will remove the packages from dependencies, then

Code:

apt-get clean
apt-get update

should refresh the "conditions" and should allow you to install. in few minutes.

---

just removed inetutils-ping from cec package.

I will check other packages for presence of iputils-ping
