Unable to install XBMC after update

[justinmcintosh]

After updating to the new SeasOnPass and aTV Flash this evening, I am now unable to install XBMC. I get the following:

 

E: Broken packages

ts…

Building dependency tree…

Reading state information…

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not been yet been created or been moved out of incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2:Depends: org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock but it is not going to be installed

Reading package lists…

Building dependency tree…

Reading state information…

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

 

Any idea what to do to get this working?

I found a way following this topic: http://forum.firecore.com/topic/8150 and this one that was referred there: http://forum.firecore.com/topic/8144

Basically:

It is a server issue, it appears as though cydia.zodttd.com is taking a really long time to respond. That repo is likely shared with other iOS devices and a lot of people are installing the latest JB. To fix it, I did this;

1. Run the installer, if it takes more then 15 mins close it.
2. Run the installer again, it will finish very quickly, but also leave a few packages in a broken state (Media Player will say install failed when you try to install it).
3. Run these three commands from SSH prompt:

killall -9 apt-get aptitude
rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
apt-get -y update (if it times out or takes a really long time, press CTRL+C and run the command again)

4. Reboot, install extras through Maintenance.

When you do the update from the command line you can see the progress for each repo, and for me cydia.zodttd.com took almost 20mins to complete since it was going at ~1k/s.

If you aren’t comfortable using SSH commands just wait a few hours to update and it should sort itself out!

Don’t mean to double post this, but I figured having a thread with that title would be more visible.

Yes I am having the same issues as well.  If you figure out how to fix this, please pass it along.

Is there any way to fix this without using SSH.
