Yeah - fucked up debian packaging :-(
Remove kodi-data before you install kodi and kodi-bin
sudo apt-get remove --purge kodi-data
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

The hard way ... as always when packaging is fucked up :-(
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kodi_2%3a16.1~git20160425.1001-final-0xenial_all.deb
sudo apt-get remove --purge kodi-data kodi kodi-bin
sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin
We need to conflict on the kodi-data package in our ppa.

Worked like a charm, thx a lot!
Only thing left is to check if kodi is running when I am back home tonight.
Update: Everything up and running

Hi, I'm a noob. I am running Xubuntu (16.04) an used to run Kodi 15. I uninstalled it yesterday in my efforts to upgrade to Kodi 16 but now I'm only able to install Kodi 18. Could somebody guide me how to get back to Kodi 16 (Jarvis)? If it should go in a new thread, can someone help with that too?
Thanks!

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Not sure on how to fix this .... thanks
Update: I was able to correct the problem - just needed to add the Ubuntu universe - all found that way.
