Looks like you are trying to go from a repo that packages the pvr addons separately to one that includes the addons in the xbmc and xbmc-bin packages.

Try uninstalling your pvr packages and try again.

i didnt even think about that, new to linux and trying to work through it all, thanks for the response, i'll give that a try

i had been using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/xbmc-nightly

and the wiki has

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:whatever-ppa-you-have-now
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:whatever-ppa-here

is there a list of the proper repositorys i should be using for the nightly builds/updates?

thanks for the help
