First off, I'm sorry for having to post this. I have searched for two days now and have not been able to find or understand what I have to do here. I am definitely a newbie when it comes to linux. I have made it through adding the repositories, but when I try to install, either through the terminal or the synaptics manager, i get the followng:
chris@xbmc:~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbmc: Depends: xbmc-common (= 8.10a4-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xbmc-skin-pm3 (= 8.10a4-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xbmc-web-pm3 (= 8.10a4-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
every time... I just don't understand what I'm doing to make the packages broken. xbmc-common shows up in synaptics, but I can't install it either... Please help
