Interesting dependency issue from a totally fresh Alchemist 153 install from a few hours ago.

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (>= 2:14.1~git20150131.1014-38e4046-0) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: kodi-bin (< 2:14.1~git20150131.1014-38e4046-0.1~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And when installing kodi-bin directly:

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kodi-bin : Depends: libtag1c2a (>= 1.8) but 1.7.2-1+bsos8 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I've added an exception to the libtag1c2a package priority to give the kodi 1.9 version priority of 900 and lowered the priority of the SteamOS repo to 800

Code:

Package: *
Pin: origin mirrors.xbmc.org
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release l=SteamOS
Pin-Priority: 800

Package: libtag1c2a
Pin: origin mirrors.xbmc.org
Pin-Priority: 900

Yet after doing an apt-get update, I still get the same issue.

Results from apt-cache policy

Code:

libtag1c2a:
  Installed: 1.7.2-1+bsos8
  Candidate: 1.9.1-2
  Package pin: 1.9.1-2
  Version table:
     1.9.1-2 900
        500 http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/steamos/ alchemist/main amd64 Packages
*** 1.7.2-1+bsos8 900
        800 http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos/ alchemist/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Forgive me Debian ignorance, I come from Red Hat/Fedora land.


I do not have the wheezy repo added, since it wasn't specifically mentioned. I don't want to go adding it all willy-nilly too since dependency hell is not a good time.
