Hello I am running Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela.
I've tried using the software manager to "remove" and "install". It keeps installing Kodi 17.6
I've followed the lines I saw in the official Kodi Wiki Howto, https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux character for character:
Some (later) Ubuntu versions include Kodi built by Ubuntu themselves. If you have installed Ubuntu Kodi, please remove the packages "kodi kodi-bin kodi-data" before trying to install team-xbmc PPA packages.
See SSH or Click here to find out how to use the terminal.
Use the command line terminal and enter the following commands. Follow the prompts as you would any other software installation.
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
It installs Kodi 17.6 again and again. I've tried other commands I saw like
"rm -r ~/.kodi/"
sudo apt-get remove kodi*
sudo apt-get remove kodi-bin*
sudo apt-get remove kodi-data*
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get purge kodi*
All to no avail. It keeps grabbing Kodi 17.6. How can I get Kodi 18.5, or the latest greatest Kodi in Linux Mint?
