First you have to install libvdpau1 not xbmc and its dpkg-reconfigure -a, seems like you have no idea what you were doing... Sorry I cant give you the correct order in which to perform the commands and which to perform, since they should be pretty obvious.
Since compiling only compiles/installs system folder and xbmc-bin Im not surprised it works yet you still have broken dpkg , which may cause other problems in future.

@ redstorm
Right, leeme explain something to you, you don't have vdpau installed, as such it doesn't matter if xbmc is installed or not, which means your gpu accelerated content wont play via vdpau. Lord knows how bad this problem will be.
You HAVE to fix dpkg, and install vdpau at all costs, otherwise it doesn't matter if you found a way around installing xbmc...
the only way your going to fix it is by following advice others like me, post here for free, and I don't see anyone else taking the time. Perhaps I should have just ignored you like they did.
Thx for restoring my faith in human kind, though. One tries to help and gets a boot up the backside...
While I was only trying to get you to see where your failed, I will just shut up, since obviously your too sensitive to be told the truth.
btw, good luck with that, I wont bother anymore.

There is no version packaged, the installer installs whatever is mainstream.
As I write this I noticed you have dharma 4 installed, so idk why your asking since on xbmc system info you get the information your asking... and only today there's an update released.

I installed the ppa's on my mythbuntu 10.10 box and could not download addons.
The problem was curl was not installed, as it is required to download addons should it not be added as a dependency to the packages?

yeah, installed it last night (x64 lucid server), looking good so far! together with the new .12 nvidia-current (also new from x-swat ppa) some vdpau-related decoding failures (picture defects mostly with 720p content) are completely gone now.
