deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ jaunty main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xbmc-addons/ppa/ubuntu/ jaunty main

Try to add the following lines to your sources.list
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu/ jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu/ jaunty main

If that fails, then your issue was resolved in this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=60932 (downloading the .dep file manually)
