Is it possible to (apt) install kodi v18 on Ubuntu 18.04 from nightly ppa?
Looks like there're packages for bionic but I couldn't get any success.

 you need to provide more details. What did you do and which error do you get?

Thank you very much for your quick response.
I just followed the instruction on wiki, and tried to clean install kodi from "ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly" on Ubuntu 18.04

"sudo apt-get install kodi" returned this error.

Thats a packaging problem. I just added bionic to the ppa builds, but didn't actually try to install it yet.
I'll try to fix it tomorrow

[d1061333]

Thank you! I really appreciate your efforts.

[wsnipex]

I updated the package, but still didn't get around to setup a 18.04 test system. Mind trying if it works now?

[d1061333]

Thank you for promptly handling the matter with care.
Tried it now using apt-get.
I could install kodi on my Ubuntu!!

Here is what console screen showed.

I great appreciate your support.
Thank you, again.

There seems to be another problem with the nightly build: Kodi requires libnfs8 | libnfs4 | libnfs1 while ubuntu provides libnfs11. Is it possible to include libnfs11 in the list?

[wsnipex]

they must have bumped it. Will be fixed with next nightly

Thanks, now it works BTW: The purpose for switching to 18.04 was that lirc input was not working anymore on Ubuntu 16.04. I could not find out why but expect that it was due to the lirc changes in Kodi.

Was able to resolve this by just uninstalling and reinstalling.

kodi-data is the broken packaged ubuntu package - entirely remove kodi-data and then install our version from the ppa. Perhaps we should add a conflicts or replaces.

 I thought I did that already..
