I am apparently running the 14.0 alpha1 on my linux XBMC box. This is fine for now because it is still compatible with the version of the DB for example as my Raspbmc devices i have around my house (i use a shared library/MySQL configuration). I want to prevent development or nightly builds from being installed from now on, so i believe i have to remove the ppa's from being referred to. I am not sure how to perform these steps - or to see which ppa's are currently in use (if that sentence makes sense, i am doing pretty well for myself!). I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

apt-cache policy xbmc
will show you the sources of available versions. Those sources are configured in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/[filename]

sudo apt-get update
oh btw: your ubuntu version(12.10 - quantal) is officially out of support(by ubuntu), so there won't be any new packages for it anymore, neither xbmc nor others. The newest available xbmc version is 13.0, while we are about to release 13.2beta1.
So you probably should upgrade/reinstall your ubuntu to 14.04 - trusty

Nice catch. I will upgrade as soon as possible so to continue getting uodates/support etc. I don't believe I need to do a complete reinstall of the OS... I'll look into that. I know some major OS upgrades don't have a reliable upgrades between major releases.

It freezes the package from receiving automatic updates. When/if you want to receive updates again, just use apt-mark unhold xbmc instead of having to deal with adding/removing PPA:s etc.
