can you uninstall xbmc-common (and everything related to xbmc ? , Then reinstall only xbmc-common and paste the error you have here .
You should also check that you have universe and multiverse repositories enabled.

So does this mean it will not support any other linux OS? Can't I just use any repository?

Just to make it clear.
There are out there some people stating that we support only ubuntu and that we are not supporting GNU Linux. That's not correct, we support GNU Linux but we provide binary packages for Ubuntu only for at least two reason :
1. Ubuntu because I use Ubuntu and I know how to package for Ubuntu so I am giving my free time to package for Ubuntu.
2. Should we support others distros we wouldn't be able to support all of them.
So the most important point is that the source code is compatible with any other GNU LINUX distro. Then if someone can give some free time in packaging binaries for other distros, we will be happy to add a link to our download page.

Once you have all the prereqs, it's a simple configure and make install. Problem will likely be tracking down those prereqs for a different distro.
