Hello all,

I noticed some package inconsistencies in the kodi ppa for bionic. Poke @wsnipex for the help on packaging before (and thanks!).

To reproduce:

Code:

docker run -it --rm ubuntu:18.04 bash
apt-get update -yq && apt-get install -yq software-properties-common
add-apt-repository -yq ppa:team-xbmc/ppa && apt-get update -yq
apt-get install -yq kodi-game-libretro-mame # this line fails

It looks like some packages aren't listed as being in that repository, despite showing up here:
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...ter=bionic

Checking apt-cache shows the truncated list:

Code:

apt-cache search kodi-game

Code:


kodi-game-libretro - Libretro wrapper for Kodi's Game API
kodi-game-libretro-beetle-pce-fast - NEC - PC Engine / CD (Beetle PCE FAST) core for kodi's retroplayer
kodi-game-libretro-beetle-vb - Nintendo - Virtual Boy (Beetle VB) core for kodi's retroplayer

kodi-game-libretro-virtualjaguar - Atari - Jaguar (Virtual Jaguar) core for kodi's retroplayer


Would it be possible to enable the rest?

I was a bit overzealous with the -q, this block works to reproduce:

Code:

docker run -it --rm ubuntu:18.04 bash
apt-get update -yq && apt-get install -yq software-properties-common
add-apt-repository -y ppa:team-xbmc/ppa && apt-get update -yq
apt-get install -yq kodi-game-libretro-mame # this line fails

I just posted a related question on ask Ubuntu. Maybe it will be helpful for someone.

if you check https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...ies_filter= (package details view), you'll note that many of the retro cores simply failed to build. Those still show up on the launchpad listing, but they are not available for install via apt.

Thanks for that; is the recommended way forward to use this repository?
