Could not download all repository indexes

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/jaunt...ty/Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

What am I doing wrong? I would like to try this on my desktop as opposed to my xbox, but I just don't seam to get it. I'm some what familiar with XDSL for my xbox. Is it because I have a 64bit computer?

I just purged xbmc-live

I guess you could delete the postinstall file, but then you lose out on any setup scripts run there

The problem is in postinst script: the script run "AUTH_EXISTS=`polkit-auth --user xbmc --show-obtainable ....."
the correct syntax is
"polkit-auth --user xbmc --show-obtainable --explicit"

while updated packages are being built, if you have already xbmc-live installed but not configured due to apt-get errors:

Code:
wget http://www.friendpaste.com/2Iwv42jyau2ZFsetWpF01H_363433646338/raw
sudo mv raw /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbmc-live.postinst
chmod +x /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbmc-live.postinst
sudo apt-get install xbmc-live

Pls report your results.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

I got errors doing that too

Code:
Setting up xbmc-live (9.04.2+svn20937-jaunty1) ...
[WARN  3415] polkit-action.c:211:polkit_action_set_action_id(): polkit_action_validate_id (action_id)
Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
polkit-auth: GeneralError: Given action does not have action_id set
dpkg: error processing xbmc-live (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
xbmc-live
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
(T: XBMCLive)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$

so i edited the xbmc-live.postinst with

sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbmc-live.postinst

and changed --grant to WEiSLaNDs suggestion of --show-obtainable
(not sure if this is ok?) then it built fine altho with these errors

Code:
* Configuring system and starting XBMC...
[: 142: root=UUID=b1ce4e7a-7e11-4b02-bf81-802525377509 quiet splash xbmc=nodiskmount,tempfs,setvolume,noredir loglevel=0: unexpected operator
[: 142: nodiskmount,tempfs,setvolume,noredir: unexpected operator
[: 142: unexpected operator
Setting volumes at 100%
   ...done.

which are grub errors

but system seems to be running fine Smile
