Hi folks,

I've been running the nightly build on ubuntu 16.04 server that was initially installed using fritsch' instructions (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231955). These instructions have meanwhile been updated for 18.04 server, but I had no real reason to upgrade (I'm running on a custom kernel with 16:235 pass-through support) and I had no major issues. I've been updating the system quite regularly, about 2-3 times a week.

Since a few days ago kodi is not upgrading anymore (I've blacklisted kernel packages from upgrading):

Code:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade                              
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  kodi kodi-x11 linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

The reason is, apparently, that kodi is now apparently dependent on python3-pycryptodome package which does not exist in xenial repos. While I have no problem staying with my current version, I'd prefer to continue upgrading and reporting issues as I encounter them. Do you see a straighforward way to fix this?

Thanks for looking!

Meh, probably my fault. I'll have a look at it tomorrow
