I'm setting up an HTPC so I'm trying to install XBMC. Following the XBMC Team's instructions, the commands run as expected until the second line, where apt-get reports that the package 'xbmc' wasn't found. I did an apt-cache search and the only result xbmc-related was 

xbmc-ppa-keyring - GnuPG archive keys for the XBMC PPA

When I looked into the Launchpad PPA site, that was, indeed, the only package there. I'm using Ubuntu Lucid. What's going on?

Turns out, the XBMC Team is cleaning out the PPA at the moment. It might take a while until the packages are up.

That guide is for Karmic, and you're running Lucid. Chances are that package was never resubmitted or migrated to the Lucid servers.

That could be the case, but I looked into all of the folder systems, and that same package is the same for all distros. – digitxp Aug 12 '10 at 1:10
