So on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine, I installed XBMC from the console forever ago... it was a nightly SVN repository.
When 10.0 came out, it stopped updating through the Update Manager.
I no longer need the SVN's, but I would like to update to the official 10.1, and all the official updates...

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbmc xbmc-live
That should do the trick.
Backup your xbmc folder first. Just for good measure.

Thanks hudo,
One question before I do that, why is xbmc-live one of the arguments?

Because it is one of the needed packages if you have a XBMC Live based system. In other words, it is needed to autostart xbmc upon system startup.
Technically you achieve the same with only sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbmc-live because xbmc is a dependency of xbmc-live.
Unless you are start xbmc by some other method (script or something) it should be installed. You can check the package status by issuing sudo apt-cache policy xbmc-live.
Anyway, before installing anything, the system prompts for authorization. Have a look at what it says about installed/updated/remove/etc packages.

If you're using Ubuntu desktop, don't use xbmc-live to autostart XBMC.
If you're not using Ubuntu desktop, add xinit and x11-xserver-utils to the package install list. They are unlisted xbmc-live dependencies.

You are welcome.
A bit confusing mixing Desktop and Live like systems but it works.
BTW, @clock2113 are you on Desktop or Live like system?

Well, I've got the desktop, but 97 percent of the time I only use XBMC...
At some point there's going to be a good full-screen browser like Kylo for Linux, which will be able to start from the XBMC main menu, and then I'll ditch the desktop for a minimal-install...

There where some how-tos around to make XBMC launch a browser. Firefox and Chrome, I believe.
They aren't TV specific browsers but you could give that a try if you want to.
