What am I doing wrong? These libass files aren't installing for me?

You need the following packages: libenca0, libfontconfig1, libfreetype6 to install libass3.

You can install those with this command:
sudo apt-get install libenca0 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6

It's still a mystery to me why apt doesn't automaticly resolve the libass3 dependency from the team-xbmc PPA.
- theres probably a great explanation for it. I probably just don't fully understand how it works

I've been updating until now with no problems using apt-get upgrade. But now i can't update to the new alpha version. How can i upgrade it?

Thanks in advance,

Check this topic http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=432...tcount=325

thers a few issues that I hope cleared up and finally got that sorted

What repositories and where do you have them listed, where this command works for you?

Code:

sudo apt-get install libenca0 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6

I'm pretty sure those three are in the default ubuntu repository.

FOR EVERY ONE HAVING PROBLEM with libass3, please check that you are not using
PPA for XBMC for Linux.
Use specific stable PPAs for you distribution on this page:

Even with the right repos, the aptitude doesn't find the libass3 to install correctly. at the moment it needs to be loaded by hand using dpkg and then aptitude upgrade xbmc works.. is this by design?

[daiki]

the problem is with too many repos in XBMC PPAs
For "XBMC for Linux" main Jaunty PPA is

Code:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

but there is no LIBASS3

but there is specific Jaunty repos

Code:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/jaunt-ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

where libass3 and newest XBMC is

As I see "/team-xbmc/ubuntu_realase_name-ppa/ubuntu ubuntu_realase_name main" scheme was for older PPAs, from Karmic it will be "/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu ubuntu_realase_name main" so there will no longer be duplicate of "ubuntu_realase_name" in PPA repo address

There is now a new problem; when doing apt-get upgrade it shows the package xbmc-live but it fails to install with return code 1. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Great thread, all! I'm having similar issues with the upgrade command - I continually am getting the following error message as well:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  linux-image linux-image-generic xbmc xbmc-common xbmc-live xbmc-skin-pm3-hd
  xbmc-standalone xbmc-web-pm3
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.

Here's my xbmc.org.list file (I'm updaing a Revo AR1600, XBMC Live install, HDD install on Ubuntu)

Code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

I've updated the libass3 seemingly successfully (I didn't see any errors) but I'm still getting the same problem. Any ideas?

[xboxbotox]

Well, ignore my previous post...that seemed to work fine. But now I'm getting the same error as fidoboy -

Code:

Installing new version of config file /etc/init/xbmc-live.conf ...
rm: cannot remove `/etc/init/xbmc-live-install.conf': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing xbmc-live (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up xbmc (9.11~alpha2-jaunty1) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
xbmc-live
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Anyone else seeing this?
