[PROBLEM] How to successfully update 1.0a3 to latest release?

[mixpc]

Hello,

My current Xbian install is 1.0a3, XBMC 12.0RC1, no overclocking, right power supply, 1 usb device connected hosting three .avi files, LAN-connected RPi, 2GB SD card.

Terminal

XBian 1.0a3

I've tried to update it by following the alternative method without success even on the first step:
sudo apt-get update

I should note Internet connection works ok. I've also tried updating through SSH and then updating packages

Kernel3.6.11
Lirc
Xbmc

but even though a message says they've been updated, rebooing Xbian and checking that info both through SSH and the XBMC Settings info shows no such an update has taken place.

So could anyone give me some advice on how to update my Xbian install to the latest release 1.0 Alpha 5 and/or latest packages? They only thing I want is losing all the addons and settings I've set up so far. That's why I've made use of the XBMC Backup addon.

Thanks in advance!

Since there's not a single reply here's my progress which actually ammounts to nothing... It looks as if I should have to update from 0.3 to 0.4 instead of moving to 0.5 straightforward. How? No idea. Is it so? No idea either...
