For some reason I'm unable to upgrade my HTPC to to the release version of Eden. When I first built the system I installed Ubuntu Natty and there were no pre-release versions of XBMC available that would work on Natty, however, someone pointed me to an unofficial repository at https://launchpad.net/~easy-vdr4you/+arc...xbmc-natty and I installed from there. The problem now is that even though I have disabled that repository in Synaptic, and added the official team-xbmc repos, Synaptic insists that the pre-release version I have is the latest and will not even offer the final release version. I'm at a loss as to what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions? I do NOT want to lose my current XBMC settings so I am very reluctant to simply remove the current versions using Synaptic, and anyway I'm not sure it wouldn't still find the other versions from the VDR4YOU site, because it seems to still be saying the latest version is the same as the installed version, even though I have disabled those repos!
Even then I try to force it to use the team-xbmc repository it doesn't work:
~$ sudo apt-get install -t team-xbmc xbmc

xbmc is already the newest version.
