I've tried using the unstable, stable (and changing the distro to Maverick) but no dice.
I keep getting the same error:
Code:

It looks like these packages are necessary, but I don't have them in any of my sources.
looks like packaging bugs to me, but then again just two days ago a guy installed it ok using same ppa. without changing any packages to maverick.
I guess you didnt look very far i the forums eh?

I saw that post. As mentioned in my original post, I tried installing via unstable and stable using maverick distro.
However, I found the problem. I was missing some repos. I generated a new sources file, did apt-get update and was able to install xbmc.
Here's my new sources file.

I am having the same issue and looked at the link you posted and it doesn't seem to help either. I also tried linking to other repositories.
I am running Ubuntu 11.04 and use Synaptic to add the repositories. Do I also need to edit the /etc/apt/sources.list? I didn't have issues in the past with 10.4. What am I missing/not understanding?
I cant tell you with any certainty because I dont use full desktop or a package manager.
for me its all command line and apparently you only need to
sudo add-a[t-repository whatever.ppa
sudo apt-get update && apt-get install xbmc
I had this problem, how i solved it was
uninstalled all traces of xbmc from the stable and unstable ppa's (i had other unstables like pvr branch etc)
delete all xbmc related ppa's from synaptic ( did this in synaptic gnome manager not via sources list)
added the official xbmc ppa then in synaptic gnome manager (not sources.list) edited from natty to maverick again in x not via cli
installed xbmc
