Hi everyone,

I am not too familiar with Linux, aptitude and PPA's, so it is likely that I have done something wrong myself, but I seem to be stuck trying to update to 12.3. I would like to ask you for a little bit of help; would be appreciated a lot :-)

What is my goal: I would like aptitude (apt-get) to keep my xbmc up to date, and I would like to follow all official releases (such as 12.3 at this moment). I'm not looking for test/preview releases such as the 13.0 alpha's/beta's right now.

I followed instructions to add PPA and update as follows:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa (and later, tried: ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-prestable)
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get upgrade

apt-cache policy says:

Code:

xbmc:                                                                                                                                  
  Installed: 3:12.2-1~ppa2~saucy                                                                                                        
  Candidate: 3:12.2-1~ppa2~saucy                                                                                                        
  Version table:

     2:12.3~git20131213.0944-frodo-0saucy 0

        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/wsnipex/xbmc-prestable/ubuntu/ saucy/main i386 Packages                                            
     2:12.0~git20130103.0959-rc3-0ubuntu4 0                                                                                            
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe i386 Packages

So right now, I'm on 3:12.2-1~..., but below that is the newer 2:12.3~git20131213.0944... Which is present in both the team-xbmc ppa as well as the prestable ppa by wsnipex. (I guess I'll remove wsnipex's PPA because that's not what I need right now).

What I can't figure out is why that thing isn't detected as a 'newer' version and installed. Could any of you point me in the right direction? I've tried forcing the install of that version, but that just seems to get me into trouble ("you have broken held packages" errors).
