Hi, I was trying to install XBMC on this small machine and encountered following error:

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbmc : Depends: xbmc-bin (>= 2:11.0~git20120423.cd20772-1) but it is not installable

Recommends: python-qt3 but it is not going to be installed

How to install XBMC on MK802 II running lubuntu-1204-rikomagicuk?
Is it possible?

Hello and welcome to forums

First it suggests your holding broken packages back, I'm not sure what your doing or even have a box like yours or even similar to test, however.

Fixing broken packages in Linux

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

The sledgehammer to crack a nut method :p

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a --force-all

I'm not a linux user but I use linux when I have to ;-) so I don't remember simple commands to repair simple (?) things.
Thank you, I'll try it at home.

EDIT: still can't install xbmc (broken package)
