Are you sure you performed a full upgrade? The package versions makes
me think that you are still using Wheezy.
The version shipped in Wheezy is not supported by upstream for a long time.
If you would like to use xbmc on Wheezy please consider using the
version available in wheezy-backports.

Cheers,
Balint
