Jason,

Thanks very much. As it turns out, my sources.list file contained the
exact same rpm line as yours. After figuring out the required CLI
command is apt-get rather than apt, it was a short trip to 'update' and
'install xine'. Nine (!) rpm downloads later, xine was installed and
running. Very cool.
