Your XBian install can by kept up to date by many ways, but all lead to the same core mechanism. As it standard on Debian based systems, APT system is used.

Choose one:

1. update via xbian-config tool directly from inside XBMC
   • you don't even need a keyboard to do it this way - just use your remote
2. update via xbian-config tool from terminal (text based console)
3. update via apt-get on your own

Auto updates can be configured via xbian-config tool too. With default configuration, XBian will check for updates daily and will install all stable packages.

If you can't run the update proper because of an error with python, run the following commands. ¹⁾
Afterwards the update should work well.

sudo sed -i '/_hashlib.so/d' /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.7.list
sudo sed -i '/_ssl.so/d' /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.7.list
