I maintain the tinyprod repository.   If you tell me exactly what you did,
I'll see if
I can fix it.

If you follow the instructions at http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian/ then it
should just work.   And you want the
msp430-46 package as well.   That will give you 4.6.3.

You don't want to use 4.5.3   It is buggy.

The Stanford repository for msp430 doesn't seem to be maintained.   Its why
I started
the tinyprod repository.

Also you want to get the tinyos source from
https://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-release (for release bits,
currently 2.1.2) and if you want the development trunk
https://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main

I'd recommend grabbing using git but you can also use zip or tar.   Let me
know if you need those
instructions/URL.
