First, try "apt-get --fix-broken" to see if there's anything messed up. 
Assuming there isn't, then try throwing the "--ignore-hold" switch and
see if that does it.  From the man page:

  --ignore-hold
              Ignore  package  Holds;  This  causes  apt-get to ignore a
hold
              placed on a package. This may be  useful  in  conjunction 
with
              dist-upgrade  to  override  a  large number of undesired
holds.
              Configuration Item: APT::Ignore-Hold.

And if that doesn't work, then I'd try "apt-get install gxine".  Yes, I
know it's installed, but it's worth a shot to see if it pulls down the
later version.
