Ubuntu 16.04 should still be okay for Kodi 19.
Perhaps @wsnipex can do some digging?

Thanks for the help!

First thing I would like to mention....you don't need a root user on Ubuntu. You could add your current user to the sudoers file, being then able to execute specific commands without "sudo" in front (which is a security risk if you use that for installing applications) or simply use "sudo" instead.

As wsnipex hasn't answered yet, I would like to see another output: apt-cache policy kodi. Please run that as a normal user and not as root.

Thanks.
