I use a raspberry pi but i dont know if i should put this thread there cause is a debian package issue.

My problem is:

I would like to use the kodi-send command like i used to with xbmc-send in previous versions.

i have installed the
Code:
sudo apt-get install kodi-eventclients-kodi-send

but no kodi-send was installed, the only files that it has are:
Code:
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/kodi-eventclients-kodi-send
/usr/share/doc/kodi-eventclients-kodi-send/copyright
/usr/share/doc/kodi-eventclients-kodi-send/changelog.Debian.gz

am i trying to install the wrong package? i have also tried to install another package:

Code:
sudo apt-get install kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
Package kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send' has no installation candidate

Can someone give me any help?

Cheers,

is it still called xbmc-send by any chance? (even if the package was renamed to kodi-send)

No. The /usr/share files are the only ones in that package and in /usr/bin i dont have any xbmc-send neither kodi-send
I've pinged our packager ...
this doesn't look an official ubuntu package done by us.
this is how it looks like on ubuntu with our PPA:

$ dpkg -L kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/kodi-send
/usr/share
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/kodi-send.1.gz

/usr/share/doc/kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send
/usr/share/doc/kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send/NEWS.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send/copyright


whats the output of:
apt-cache policy kodi kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send
workaround: if you have a proper kodi-eventclients-common package(must contain /usr/share/pyshared/kodi/xbmcclient.py), you can just download
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...di-send.py

If xbmcclient is missing, you can download it as well and put it in /usr/share/pyshared/kodi/
Sorry, dont know why i didnt get notification about your reply.

This is what i get when i execute that command.
Code:
sudo apt-cache policy kodi kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send

According to you i should be installing the kodi-eventclients-xbmc-send instead of kodi-eventclients-kodi-send ?


Code:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi

am i missing any sources so i can install the correct package?
Here are the contents of the packages:

i guess this one is right;

sudo apt-file list kodi-eventclients-kodi-send
