Follow the steps on 3rd reply by Wolfman to install all needed dependencies. These steps have worked on 7 Unbuntu machines updated to 16.04 LTS. This will get you started up again running Kodi Jarvis 16.

I get the following error:

Some additional information:
I had kodi 16.0 installed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, then upgraded to 16.04 LTS and Kodi was degraded to 15.2, probably due to the missing dependency. Now I tried to update Kodi again and this is what happens.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

Yeah - fucked up debian packaging :-(

Remove kodi-data before you install kodi and kodi-bin

sudo apt-get remove --purge kodi-data

[vipa]

Unfortunately it won't let me....

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge kodi-data

Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (< 15.2+dfsg1-3ubuntu1.1~) but 2:16.1~git20160425.1001-final-0xenial is to be installed
        Depends: kodi-data
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Any ideas?

[fritsch]

The hard way ... as always when packaging is fucked up :-(

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kodi_2%3a16.1~git20160425.1001-final-0xenial_all.deb
sudo apt-get remove --purge kodi-data kodi kodi-bin
sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin

We need to conflict on the kodi-data package in our ppa.

[vipa]

Worked like a charm, thx a lot!

Only thing left is to check if kodi is running when I am back home tonight.

Update: Everything up and running

[smdx]

already installed using the regular steps. thanks

Did the CEC issue buff out?

[tutu]

Upgraded to 16.04, followed the instructions in the VAAPI thread. Works fine, cheers

[theorem]

Success. Thanks fritsch!

[Lucifer Sam]

Thanks for your technical advice fritsch. Twas the answer to my noobish problem and the cause of posting my first post.

Hi, I'm a noob. I am running Xubuntu (16.04) an used to run Kodi 15. I uninstalled it yesterday in my efforts to upgrade to Kodi 16 but now I'm only able to install Kodi 18. Could somebody guide me how to get back to Kodi 16 (Jarvis)? If it should go in a new thread, can someone help with that too?
Thanks!

[nickr]

Code:

apt-cache policy kodi
