Having finally noticed that 16.0 has been officially released, I decided to upgrade. I followed the instructions in the wiki (http://kodi.wiki/view/Kodibuntu) step #3.

I typed in the very simple

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

apt-get did its thing and updated a bunch of files. I've rebooted my box and it still comes up saying 15.2.

After attempting this a couple of times, here's the ouput:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
(lots of output)
xbmc@xbmc:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libafpclient0 libshairport1 linux-image-extra-3.13.0-52-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages have been kept back:
  kodi kodi-bin linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
xbmc@xbmc:~$

I'm happy to do the autoremove if that will help things, or is just generally recommended. It's indicating that kodi & kodi-bin are being kept back - I presume I need to force those to be updated, but I'm not sure how.

quote from the wiki, literally under the steps you followed..

Note: In some cases where additional packages are required, Kodi will fail to upgrade when using the upgrade commands as above. To install additional packages use the command below:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Thank you.

For some reason I associated that with the Upgrade OS section below it and read the parts about it most likely not being necessary, so I didn't think to do that.

Everything's working fine now.
