I have an asrock ion330 and am trying to install XBMC using this script http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=55282 it had errored out on me so i went back to find out where.

it is when i get to this command

Code:

apt-get install xbmc -y

the following is outputted

Code:

I don't know if this will make the universe collapse, but try to explicitly ask it to install xbmc-common.

Like so
sudo apt-get install xbmc-common
And then sudo apt-get install xbmc

Again! I've got no idea if this will work or break something. My xbmc installation gives the same error if I try to sudo apt-get upgrade, but I don't fancy challenging fate on my own system right now, since I need it operational tonight for movie night!

I ended up trying that this morning and ran into another dependency problem.

So now im at work and ssh'd into it and was fooling around and i think i solved the problem i ended up doing

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install

this downloaded and installed a bunch of files once that was complete i did the

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbmc

and it went through with no errors i finished off the install and rebooted but now i have to wait until i am home to see if it worked. although when i look at top i see the xbmc.bin process running so i'm hopeful
