Hi there,

I made the mistake of installing kodi 14 using the XBMC PPAs under Mint 17.1. Doing a remove of kodi via apt-get I went and did a 'apt-get install xbmc' to go back to Gotham. However, the PPA configuration seems to have aliased XBMC to Kodi, so that it just reinstalls Kodi 14 instead of XBMC 13.2. I can see the packages are still there, but the way it's configured you can't install the old packages. Ie:

I think I might be able to revert using the command: 'apt-get install xbmc:2:13.2~git20140817.2155-final-0trusty'

But I think it might be helpful to not alias xbmc to kodi for the sake of those of us who are still using an older version of Kodi/XBMC. Would this be possible?

Thanks - Matt.
