17.3 upgrade on 17.04 Ubuntu fails
#1
I am running Ubuntu 17.04 and am trying to update Kodi from 17.1 to 17.3 for security issues. Having a problem with dependency issues. Here is output

apt-get install kodi

Can anyone give a newbie Linux user a helping hand?
Thank you in advance.

I tried the "apt full-upgrade", followed by "apt-get install kodi" but had same dependency problem. It seems to that there is a prerequisite/dependency that need to be satisfied. In my case

Depends: kodi-bin (>= 2:17.3+git20170525.0741-final-0zesty) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kodi-bin (< 2:17.3+git20170525.0741-final-0zesty.1~) but it is not going to be installed

Could it be that I have incorrect link to the 17.3 Kodi software (PPA)?

My /etc/apt/software.list.d directory is getting pretty cluttered and confusing.

Any more thoughts?
Cheers

Still no solution. Can someone explain the "dependencies" as illustrated in the original post?

I installed/reinstalled python-bluez as it seems that it is a prereq for Kodi 17.3. But Kodi still will not install with same errors?

Has anyone successfully installed Kodi 17.03 on Ubuntu Yakkety?

It's difficult to say without knowing your sources or seeing the output of e.g. apt-cache policy kodi* (which will be a long list), but your comment about "software.list.d getting pretty cluttered" makes me wonder if you've got clashing repositories defined.

As a test, can you post the output of apt-cache policy kodi and apt-cache policy kodi-bin, please?
