[Vash63]

Just to update this, I was finally able to get this working by manually configuring and compiling it. Had to add a custom repo to get ffmpeg and of course the Jessie repo which I've had installed for some time but it's working great now. I had to add a few deps that weren't in the Debian guide but other than that all I did was comment out the --enable-libcec in the configure, then bootstrap, configure, and make install and all went smoothly.

Unfortunately make checkinstall didn't work for me, I'm not great with Debian but I know that's generally better for building an easily manageable package. Oh well, if this breaks I can just wipe it at any time, Steam cloud syncs all of its files and my Kodi config is on an external mariadb database.

Bonjour SteamOS & Kodi users

I just reinstalled my SteamBox (GB-BXCE-2955 - Gigabyte) with the last fresh brewmaster beta of steamos.

The HowTo helped me install Xbmc/Kodi on my previous install.

But with this new one it is a bit harder, after following every step of the howto, the kodi install gave me these errors :

Code:

desktop@steamos:/etc/apt$ sudo apt-get install kodi
[sudo] password for desktop:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I admit that I do not understand how Debian/SteamOS handle its packets,
(I used to work with gentoo before) so I came here to find some help...

Interesting, something must have changed. Last time I checked kodi wasn't even getting that far. aptitude install kodi was able to resolve the dependencies for me this time though, maybe I'll try that on the next update.
