I've just done a minimal install of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, and when I go to try and install XBMC via apt-get, I am getting the following dependency failures :
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbmc: Depends: xbmc-data (= 2:10.1~ppa1~lucid) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xbmc-skin-confluence (= 2:10.1~ppa1~lucid) but it is not going to be installed
I have the multiverse, universe, and xbmc repositories all set up in apt, so I'm really at a loss at what the problem is.
Any ideas?
btw, this is for a mac powerbook.
I also just went through and did a full gui install and followed the instructions to the letter, but xbmc doesn't show up in the available packages list in the package manager
What does aptitude do?
aptitude install xbmc. It'll try and resolve stuff.
here's what I get

It doesn't give you a Yes/No option?
yeah, it did give a y/n option, but it still failed.
I didn't realize that ppc was unsupported, and this is an old macbook. i'm building it from sources right now to see if that will do the trick.
Oh. Well you sort of forgot about the "This is a PPC".
It's in the Debian Multimedia repositories or you can always compile from source.
