After doing System->Addons->Search->tvheadend and then selecting the pvr add on,
choosing Install produces the following in $HOME/.kodi/temp/kodi.log:

19:14:21 T:139772831971072 ERROR: Copy - Failed read from file /usr/share/xbmc/addons/pvr.hts
19:14:21 T:139772818597632 NOTICE: Thread BackgroundLoader start, auto delete: false
19:14:24 T:139774047213504 ERROR: RunScript called for invalid add-on id 'service.xbmc.versioncheck'. Not a script.

...and then nothing happens. I'm unable to enable Live TV. The file referenced above is actually a directory.
After this failed, I attempted the same after launching with "sudo kodi" but same results.

Thanks for all you guys do - Awesome stuff!!!

Here is the entire kodi.log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8827173/

Try to symlink /usr/share/xbmc to /usr/share/kodi

Old addon?

The /usr/share/xbmc/addons and /usr/lib/xbmc/addons directories are still not being migrated to the respective kodi directories when kodi is installed.

It was a previous addon but I could not remove the addon either. Both directories existed.

The following fixed it for me:

cd /usr/share/kodi/addons
sudo ln -s /usr/share/xbmc/addons/pvr.hts pvr.hts

cd /usr/lib/kodi/addons
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xbmc/addons/pvr.hts pvr.hts

yes it IS, but we cannot remove _other packages_ that have files in those dirs. Thats why you must _uninstall all xbmc-* packages_, then upgrade/reinstall.
After that you can reinstall your addons.

Code:
sudo apt-get purge xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts

That worked. Thank you wsnipex.

However, I think your post above is not strictly true, as if one has an XBMCBuntu installation, running sudo apt-get remove xbmc-* would mark all xbmcbuntu packages as well.

I do wonder, though, where this advice is published?
